Injury update: Eli Tomac to sit out Philadelphia Supercross

Eli Tomac will miss the 15th round of the 2026 AMA Supercross Championship in Philadelphia as he continues to recover from a crash during qualifying at the previous round in Cleveland. Although medical evaluations have ruled out any broken bones, the two-time 450SX Champion is still experiencing the aftereffects of the incident. Tomac is prioritising his recovery with the hope of returning for the final rounds of the series, riding the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has emphasised the importance of Tomac’s health following the crash. Team Manager Ian Harrison expressed relief that Tomac’s injuries were not more serious and supported the decision to allow him the necessary time to recuperate. Harrison reiterated the team’s commitment to rider welfare and their anticipation of Tomac’s return once he is fully fit. Tomac has enjoyed a highly successful season with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, securing four wins at Anaheim 1, San Diego, Seattle, and Daytona. His consistent performance has also seen him reach the podium eight times in the 450SX class, marking an impressive campaign so far. His absence in Philadelphia will be a significant loss for the team as they approach the closing stages of the championship. Looking ahead, Tomac’s recovery and potential comeback will be closely monitored by both the team and fans. His return could have a considerable impact on the championship standings as the season nears its conclusion. Meanwhile, Red Bull KTM will continue to support their rider’s rehabilitation, aiming to see him back on track in competitive form for the final rounds.
