Haiden Deegan Expresses Hope for Eli Tomac’s Swift Recovery After Injury at Tampa Supercross

During the qualifying session of the Tampa Supercross at Raymond James Stadium, Eli Tomac suffered a broken fibula when his leg was pinned beneath a foot peg upon landing from a jump. Despite the injury, Tomac displayed remarkable determination by competing in both his heat race and the main event, ultimately finishing 17th. Following the race, further medical evaluations confirmed the severity of his injury, leading to an indefinite hiatus from competition as he focuses on recovery.

In response to this unfortunate event, fellow rider Haiden Deegan expressed his support and admiration for Tomac. Deegan, who has previously trained with Tomac, has often spoken highly of him, stating, “It’s incredible to be able to ride and learn from someone like Eli; every session with him feels like a masterclass.” While specific comments from Deegan regarding Tomac’s recent injury have not been documented, it is evident that he holds Tomac in high esteem and would likely wish him a swift and full recovery.

Tomac’s injury is a significant setback in his 2025 SuperMotocross season, especially after securing a win at San Diego earlier in the series. The timeline for his return remains uncertain, but both fans and fellow riders are hopeful for his prompt recovery and return to the sport.
