If Tomac wins the next SX championship, it could be the first step to MXGP racing in 2020.
He could race the nationals. Then head to Lommel for a few weeks testing, before racing the MXON.
Then have a proper off season of rest, followed by euro testing for a 2020 campaign of MXGP.
IMO setting a target of top 5 overall series classification would be better for first year. Gain the experience & learn the circuits without over riding like RV did.
Then shoot for for a world title over the next few years.
People say an mxgp in usa wouldnt be supported well, but Eli holding the red plate in the closing stages of the season might change people views a bit.
