says racers x - but no real insight on severity
According to the team, Eli Tomac suffered a shoulder contusion (a bruise) last night at the opening round of Monster Energy Supercross.
Tomac jetted into the early lead on his Monster Energy Kawasaki and slowly began to distance himself from the field. He held the lead for the first seven laps of the 450 main event last night before crashing.
Tomac lost a few positions and then stopped on the track completely to fix his broken pants, which were nearly falling down. His bars were also bent. Most of all, though, his shoulder hurt.
After rolling around the track for a few laps, he eventually pulled off and went to the pits, his race was over. For the second year in a row, Tomac has the speed but will face a huge points deficit in the early season standings.
We'll provide an update as more information is known.

Oh and I remember the MC interview about should have rode around for a few points. I don't recall MC having a crash that looked like Tomac's.
Went to hospital but they didnt find anything.
My shoulder was very sore a good 2 month after and I could definitely not ride a dirtbike during that time.
Just sayin.
He remounted third, the bike wasnt toast , and the pants... well it was nothing. He rolled round cos he didnt know where he was IMO, and if thats the case, he has to pass the test Thursday before Houston.
Pit Row
Tomac, bruises his shoulder, ties up his pants, pulls out of the race.
You're welcome DonM.
serious question... is there a concussion test protocol in Supercross?
edit... found the video
(after watching again, it could be debated that he had a head injury)
If Tomac was indeed dizzy/concussed then pulling out of the race was the right call because head injuries are no joke. I didn't see anything mentioned about that from the Tomac camp. I might of missed it. But if it was simply the shoulder and pants, I don't get it.
He might be more susceptible to shoulder injuries after having both operated on.
Now he’s behind the eight ball on points
And If MM25 takes a page out of Dungeys book in regards to consistency then he’ll have a tough time.
Bummed for Tomac
I understand Tomac haters trying to diminish what sort of injury or pain that Tomac might have suffered by referring to it as just a "bruise", but not the normally rational folks like yourself.
For what it's worth, I have a good friend who's been confined to a chair for over 16 years because of a "bruise".....
Fixed the title for ya bro-skillet
Here's another example.
Cianciarulo, shoulder pops out of socket, sits on a tuff block, medical crew pops it back in place, tries to finish the race.
I don't use it much but...just sayin'.
