Yamaha has announced a special post-retirement plan for Eli Tomac, one of the most successful riders in motocross history, as he prepares to wind down his legendary career. The announcement follows Tomac’s recent statement made just before the start of the *Motocross of Nations (MXoN)*. Tomac, who replaced the injured Chase Sexton for Team USA in the recently concluded event, confirmed that he will retire after the 2025 season.
Eli Tomac has been a dominant force in motocross for over a decade. His accomplishments include multiple AMA Supercross and Motocross championships, and his fearless riding style has earned him a reputation as one of the toughest competitors in the sport. Tomac’s contribution to Yamaha has been significant, having played a crucial role in elevating the team’s profile in international motocross competitions.
Yamaha’s special plan for Tomac post-retirement involves a multifaceted role that will allow the motocross legend to continue influencing the sport. After the 2025 season, Tomac is expected to take on a development and mentorship role within the Yamaha team. This role will focus on providing technical feedback, testing bikes, and mentoring younger riders who aspire to follow in his footsteps. Yamaha is reportedly keen on utilizing Tomac’s vast experience to push the limits of their bikes’ performance in both motocross and supercross.
Tomac will also have an ambassadorial role, representing Yamaha at major motocross events, trade shows, and other public appearances. His presence will help strengthen the brand’s relationship with fans and riders alike.
While Tomac has already left an indelible mark on the sport, his final season in 2025 will be closely watched by fans and the motocross community. The 2025 campaign will not only be Tomac’s swan song but also an opportunity for him to solidify his status as one of the all-time greats. With Yamaha’s special plans in place, his post-retirement career seems set to be just as impactful as his years on the track.
Yamaha’s initiative ensures that Tomac will remain a central figure in motocross even after he steps away from competitive racing. Fans and young riders will still have the chance to benefit from his knowledge and passion for the sport.
