Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen took center stage during the opening round of the 2024 FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) in Vancouver, Canada, setting the stage for a competitive season. Tomac, joining the series full-time for the first time with CDR Yamaha, voiced his enthusiasm about racing internationally and the new experiences it would bring, particularly in locations like Abu Dhabi. “I am coming for you!” he teased Roczen, signaling his readiness to compete at full force against his long-time rival.
For Tomac, the WSX marks not only a return to the global supercross stage but also an opportunity to challenge Roczen, the two-time WSX champion. He previously raced as a wildcard in the inaugural WSX event in Cardiff in 2022, where he achieved a memorable win after a fierce battle with Roczen. Now, with his sights set on the championship, Tomac aims to bring his years of experience to every round, delivering intense, high-energy races.
Roczen, a favorite to defend his WSX title, welcomed the challenge. His rivalry with Tomac, characterized by numerous high-stakes matchups in the AMA Supercross series, is expected to bring added excitement to this year’s WSX. Both riders have shown mutual respect, but with titles on the line, fans can anticipate close and competitive races.
The championship will progress with stops in Abu Dhabi and Melbourne, where Tomac, Roczen, and the rest of the field will continue battling for the prestigious title, promising an electrifying season for supercross enthusiasts worldwide.
