Eli Tomac scored the first Vancouver Supercross victory in 20 years by outrunning Ken Roczen in Round 1 of the World Supercross Championship at BC Place.
Roczen won the SuperPole with a time of 50.742 seconds, but Tomac and Joey Savatgy were not far off the pace.
The German rider and defending WSX champion, Roczen held onto that speed during the first moto, but in the three-race format, it was Tomac who claimed the overall victory after winning the second and third races.
“It was a fantastic evening of racing,” Tomac said in a release. “Kenny rode well in the first two races, and we were battling out there. I found my rhythm in the last couple of races, and everything just clicked. The energy from the Vancouver crowd was incredible, and I’m looking forward to the next round in Perth.”
