Should Tomac Ride in an MXGP race? The honest answer: Not ruled out – but certainly not nowIn an interview with RacerX, the US star makes it clear that he's not currently eager to take on any additional commitments on top of his already packed Supercross and Motocross schedule. A spontaneous GP start simply isn't a top priority for him right now.
Focus on the 450 job
Tomac openly states that his focus is currently clearly defined. He wants to establish himself among the top two in the highly competitive 450 class and thus create the best possible starting position – also with an eye toward the Motocross of Nationswhich remains a major goal for him. Extra adventures or side projects don't currently fit into this plan.
If it's MXGP, then please sand.
The MXGP topic isn't completely off the table, though. If it were to happen at some point, Tomac would be the main beneficiaries. the European sand tracks He's impressed. He even says he wishes the US Nationals had more really deep sand tracks. This is exactly the kind of terrain that appeals to him – less for prestige reasons, but more for the driving challenge.
No specific GP track is mentioned as a must-do, but the direction is clear: Sand instead of show, Challenge instead of PR tour.
A glimpse into the future: Enduro instead of gate drop?
Things get particularly interesting when Tomac talks about his long-term ambitions. After his time in Supercross and Motocross, he can well imagine returning to a stronger focus in... technical disciplines To immerse oneself – hard enduro, longer distances, challenging terrain. Things where not only sprint speed counts, but also technique, endurance and mental toughness.
One name is deliberately mentioned: ErzbergTomac knows full well that he would likely pay a hefty price in tuition there – but nevertheless speaks about this kind of challenge with genuine respect and visible curiosity. No PR stunt, but real interest.
Tomac calls the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo "super cool," but at the same time knows exactly what that means: he'd probably "get his butt kicked" there first. Nevertheless, it doesn't sound like a joke, but like a genuine thought for the time after – a personal adventure, far removed from gate drops, triple crowns, and stadium lights.
And now? Back to the title fight.
As exciting as the future may be, the present is clearly defined. For the 33 year olds This weekend, the fifth round of the AMA Supercross Championship takes place in Glendale, where he intends to defend the Red Plate he currently holds. Adventures, sand GPs, or Erzberg dreams will have to wait – for now, only one thing matters: delivering when it counts.
