Red Bull KTM’s Eli Tomac has been cleared of any broken bones following a first moto crash at the Pro Motocross season opener at Fox Raceway, per the team.

On the opening lap of the 2026 Pro Motocross Championship on Saturday, Tomac and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Garrett Marchbanks‘ lines met and both were involved in a hard crash that sidelined Tomac for the remainder of the afternoon.

Following the race, the Red Bull KTM team issued a statement saying that “scans on-site have cleared Eli of any broken bones and he will now undergo further evaluation during the week.”

While Marchbanks was able to get up and finish the moto and compete in the second 450 moto, Tomac was put onto a stretcher—with a neck brace on—and he was taken off the track on an Alpinestars medical cart. NBC trackside reporter Will Christien reported that Tomac was dealing with a neck strain.

Tomac, a four-time 450 Pro Motocross Champion, was making his Pro Motocross debut with the team after moving to the Austrian brand last off-season.

We will post an update once more is known.
