I ran the numbers and 695 different riders matched up with Eli Tomac in SX mains, MX overalls, and SMX overalls over the course of his whole career. Roczen (275), Barcia (275), and Anderson (269) are the three riders with the most races against Tomac. Roczen tied Barcia for the most in Tomac's last ever appearance in Ridgedale last weekend.
I built a sortable and searchable table of all 695 riders on my website along with a brief history of Roczen, Anderson, and Barcia's first and last meetings with Tomac.
Here are the riders with the top ten most matchups with Tomac and a link to that full article on my site.
| Rider | Total | SX Mains | MX Overalls | SMX Overalls |
| Justin Barcia | 275 | 150 | 118 | 7 |
| Ken Roczen | 275 | 170 | 96 | 9 |
| Jason Anderson | 269 | 177 | 89 | 3 |
| Cooper Webb | 213 | 139 | 65 | 9 |
| Dean Wilson | 207 | 134 | 67 | 6 |
| Marvin Musquin | 205 | 108 | 97 | 0 |
| Blake Baggett | 183 | 96 | 87 | 0 |
| Malcolm Stewart | 182 | 129 | 47 | 6 |
| Justin Bogle | 157 | 76 | 81 | 0 |
| Cole Seely | 153 | 95 | 58 | 0 |
I love when you do shit like this.
Thanks I am hoping to do more of it this offseason. A lot of my time during the season is just getting the pre and post race notes out there
Yeah man, this stuff is awesome. Especially during the off-season, considering the rest of the nonsense that tends to pop up around here.
Keep it up!
Won't embed for some reason, but this Tomac highlight video is pretty good. Incredible how many battles with Kenny are in there.

That is super cool!! I have to say that even though the numbers are a tie, when I think who "raced Eli the most," I think Kenny is my clear pick for that distinction given how many close battles and championships they fought for. He and Eli have been at the pinnacle together for a long time.
Do you work in AI?
Cool Stats. I think it was on gypsy where he was asked who he thinks his biggest rivalry and most battles where with and he said Roczen. Interesting that Barcia is up there too but I guess not at the front the whole time for true battling.
In the Big Picture…
As in “lifetime”…as in goin’ to Back In The Day…local stuff…LL’s…?
Pretty sure it’s El Hombré.
While we’re here, it’s been pretty damn nice to have witnessed his commitment to PURE UNADULTERATED SPEED & that straight up…“Just Do It!” mentality.
Not to mention Beast Mode! 💪🏼🇺🇸
…all these years…we were all damn lucky to be there and witness all of it.
From that debut ride on the Honda at Hangtown…
Metallica at rider intros…
The bow hunting and the GT3…
The beautiful family…
The 2 Stroke Videos…
His respect for his brother’s service…
All of it.
ET3 is an Epic Era in Motocross and I feel fortunate to have been there to see it.
Eli? Thanks for being a True Champion.
barcia and him where at geico/factory connection....I mean its a fair argument between Kenny and barcia....who else? dung
This^^
I think Kenny, judging from the helmet exchange, their careers both amateur and professional had the same path.
So how many total event did tomac race in? Im too lazy to do the math or research. But I thank you for these stats!! Like TeamGreen mentioned, I am just glad I have been here to witness this era of motocross!
395 starts across SX, MX, SMX! Link to his rider profile
