Being the worse venue, track and soil on the circuit I would lean towards 100% not attending. There is absolutely 0 reason for him to race it.
One of his best venues though. But I agree. There isn’t a compelling enough reason to come back for one SX race IMO.
He might just want a gate drop to warm up, and I'm sure Star would like someone to be there who can finish in front of Chase
Also, 'racing is fun'. Prolly excellent bonus cash for having that fun!

I'd think he would want to race his home state SX in Denver, then Salt Lake.
But is he a team player? He didnt like it when Musquin pulled over for Dunge in 17'
Eli hasn't raced since what end of Jan, Chase waxed the field by 20 seconds last time out and Eli's gonna come in cold and beat him??
Don’t think Tomac will be looking to do Star or Webb any favors.
Imagine if he made a push to come back just to fuck them over
He's not that kind of guy.
But...
If he does go to KTM, there could be a nice signing bonus if he helps Sexton...
🤔 😆
small edit. Maybe more pertinent?
He's not that kind of guy.
But...
If he does go to KTM, there could be a nice signing bonus if he slows Sexton...
Eli stated his goal was to come back and race the last two Supercross's. I'd say there is a chance we see him.
IMO, if they're going to lose Sexton to another team, it's still better to bring the title to the KTM brand than it is to give a rider a signing bonus to let the title go to a competing brand.
Chase waxed a field that didn't have Eli Tomac in it. Just sayin'.
I'm not saying Eli could come back and put a beatdown on Chase, but I think it's entirely possible he could beat him if he's fully healed.
hell nah fam , chase would bully Eli right now cause he in form & Eli would just be coming back for gate drops , we seen last season Eli came back during the end of outdoors for gate drops & he got smoked by chase , wasent until till the SMX races ( as predicted ) tht we saw Eli get his form back , Eli ain’t beating chase till we get to outdoors
Other then he is under contract to race and could be in position to help his teammate win a championship 🏆.
Chase waxed a field without Eli or Jett. He’s proven many times in the last few years he can do that.
Yeah Eli should definitely jump into the last couple meaningless sx rounds with rusty timing and risk an injury so we don't get Eli vs Jett outdoors, AGAIN. How about, NO!
He sure didn’t mind that extra million when savatgy moved over for him. That being said with the sounds of how his contract negotiations are going he wouldn’t do the same for Webb.

Bobby: “now listen here Mr. Tomac, we’re gunna needya to come back for these last two rounds to help your boy Cooper win this SX title”
Eli:
I doubt Eli will race any of the remaining SX's. That being said, I wouldn't be totally surprised if he raced SLC finale just to get a few gate drops.
But Eli winning is doing Eli a favor. Most likely scenario of Webb losing requires that Chase gains 3 points per round left. I think Eli is the best chance to prevent that from happening. Not saying I think he's going to come in cold and win, but he's more likely to than anyone else is.
