Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing and Eli Tomac will continue together in 2025, expected to be his last season of full-time competition through the entire SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) including Supercross and Pro Motocross.

Tomac, 31, continues to extend his career and will go around again next season in what will be his fourth year with the factory Yamaha organization.

“I’m very pleased to announce I’ve signed with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing for the entire 2025 SuperMotocross season,” Tomac said. “I anticipate 2025 being my final full season of professional SMX racing.

“While the last two Supercross seasons have had unfortunate endings with injury, we’ve had many more great race wins, and championships along the way. So now is the time to enjoy the ride, get back to winning races and competing for the SuperMotocross title.”

Tomac first joined Yamaha in 2022, capturing the 450SX and 450MX titles, as well as captaining Team USA to victory at the Motocross of Nations (MXoN). During the past three seasons and despite being sidelined through extended periods with injury, he has won 15 races in Supercross and 14 outdoors.

“Having Eli make the decision to come back for another year is a big one for both him and the team,” said Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing manager Jeremy Coker. “We are looking forward to his final year of racing and we will do everything in our power to have him go out on top.”

Yamaha Racing department manager Jim Roach added: “Yamaha is extremely excited to announce that Eli Tomac will be returning for the 2025 season, for his final year of Supercross, Motocross, and SuperMotocross. Eli is a fierce competitor who has had a large amount of success on the YZ450F. We look forward to the 2025 season, and our continued success.”

In addition to his ongoing commitment with Star Racing in the US, it was also recently revealed that Tomac will contest the Supercross World Championship (WSX) with CDR Yamaha at the end of this year, which will form part of his build up to 2025.
