By TMX Archives on 3rd Jun 15
Reports are coming out from America indicating that motocross rider Eli Tomac will miss the rest of the outdoor season following a hard crash Saturday at the Thunder Valley National in Denver.
The GEICO Honda rider was looking favourite for the 450 title after taking the five class motos. However Tomac was higsided on a tricky section of the track and went down hard injuriong both of his shoulders.
"Eli was understandably upset when we were talking a little while ago," team co-owner Jeff Majkrzak said. "Obviously, after the start he's had, we were all hoping for a championship run. Injuries are an unfortunate part of this sport, and this one is very tough for all of us."
Majkrzak reports that Tomac's left shoulder has suffered a 100 percent tear of the rotator cuff, requiring immediate surgery. His right shoulder, which was dislocated in the crash and later put back into place by the Asterisk medical team, will most likely need surgery as well.
