In the world of professional motocross, rumors can spread like wildfire, especially when it comes to two high-profile riders like Eli Tomac and Haiden Deegan. Recently, speculation about a rift between the two riders began circulating after a tweet from Tomac was misinterpreted by some outlets. The 2020 AMA Supercross champion and veteran rider Eli Tomac has now addressed the issue, clarifying his comments and setting the record straight.
Tomac took to social media to express his frustration over the misrepresentation of his words. “The media has been misleading my tweet,” Tomac stated in a recent post. “Deegan and I are in a good place, and there is no issue between us.”
“I’ve known Haiden for a while, and I have nothing but respect for his skill and dedication to the sport,” Tomac continued. “He’s a talented rider with a bright future ahead of him. The narrative being pushed about a rivalry is simply not true.”
Despite the speculation, Tomac made it clear that there is no personal animosity between the two riders. “Motocross is a competitive sport, but there’s always respect among us riders,” Tomac said. “We push each other to be better. Haiden is doing his thing, and I’m doing mine. There’s no issue between us.”
“We all know that the media loves to stir things up, but in reality, we’re just two riders who are focused on our own paths,” Tomac concluded. “Haiden and I share a mutual respect for one another, and I’m excited to see where his career goes.”
