Eli Tomac suffered a broken left fibula during qualifying at the Tampa Supercross round in early 2025. Despite the injury, he raced both his heat race and the main event, finishing 17th before discovering the severity of his injury a few days later
. Initially thought to be just a bruised calf and a high ankle sprain, further scans revealed the broken fibula, which required surgery to insert a plate
. Tomac was sidelined for several weeks to recover, with doctors estimating a six-week recovery period. He expressed frustration as he had been riding very well and had recently won at San Diego before the injury
. As of early April 2025, about seven weeks after surgery, Tomac has returned to riding and is planning a comeback. His goal is to return for the first round of Pro Motocross and possibly sneak in the last round of Supercross, aiming for a return roughly a month to a month and a half after his surgery
. In summary, Eli Tomac's 2025 Supercross season was interrupted by a broken fibula sustained in Tampa, but he is now recovering well and aiming to return to racing soon
