Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing is pleased to announce the addition of Eli Tomac to the team for the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross season.
The multi-time champion – who has previously won national titles with Honda and Kawasaki – completes a powerhouse Yamaha line-up, joining the newly-crowned 2021 Pro Motocross Champion Dylan Ferrandis.
After campaigning for a Supercross title in the 250 class, Christian Craig will join the duo for the outdoor season on a 450cc bike.
Tomac brings with him a wealth of experience and is a proven championship contender.
In addition to his three consecutive Pro Motocross 450MX titles from 2017-2019, achieved with other brands, he took a Kawasaki to add the coveted 450cc supercross championship title to his resume in 2020.
The Colorado rider has amassed an impressive number of victories and is the most successful rider currently active in both premier class championships.
The Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing 450 Team is fresh off of a great debut in the premier class.
After a solid start in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship with all three riders earning their first 450SX podium and finishing comfortably inside the top-10 in the standings, the team had a stellar Lucas Oil Pro Motocross season.
“I’m really excited about this next chapter of my racing career with the Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing team,” said Tomac.
“With the recent success of the team, motorcycle, and crew members in place, I know we will be ready for the challenge of winning races. January can’t come soon enough!”
