450MX AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPION ELI TOMAC

Interview
ROUND 10
"Oh man, Unadilla. This is embarrassing. Moto one I got the hole-
shot in—I think it was my first holeshot across the line this season.
However, I just fully locked up, and my forearms got super-tight,
and I got massive arm pump and went back to seventh and was just
riding around. That was a tough day to swallow. Once again, it was
just minimizing some damage. I also learned something from that
race. I learned that you don't go fix fences [at home] in the middle
of the week in the middle of your motocross season. I jacked up my
arms. You do something out of the ordinary with your muscles, and
it messes you up. That's what I learned." [Laughter]

Arm-pump got the best
of Tomac in the first
moto at Unadilla. It was
the only time all season
that he didn't land
on the podium.
