Eli Tomac - Broken Leg
Eli Tomac will sit out an indeterminate number of Monster Energy Supercross races as he heals from what turned out to be a broken fibula, suffered in a qualification incident in Round 5 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Tomac’s leg was injured when it got pinned beneath a foot peg when he landed off a jump.
“Unfortunately, this was more than an ankle sprain and a bruised calf,” Tomac said in a press release. “After two days of pain not improving, I got additional scans on my leg, and I do have a broken fibula. This is such a bummer as I’ve never felt better on the motorcycle in Supercross and getting a win at San Diego was great. I don’t have an exact timeframe of recovery at this time but will be working to come back as soon as possible.”
