Reigning Lucas Oil Pro Motocross champion Eli Tomac has continued his dominance in the 2018 series today at Glen Helen’s second stop of the championship, lodging a perfect 1-1 scorecard in the premier class.

The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider was forced to work his way into the lead during both outings, coming from behind the lead group to ultimately secure a pair of race victories.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s wound up second overall after recording 2-3 race results, which was enough to edge out Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jason Anderson in third, who led a portion of race two before settling into second.

Fourth was credited to Justin Barcia (Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing), as Ken Roczen (Honda HRC) rounded out the top five in fifth with a 3-8 scorecard and leading much of the opening race.

In the 250MX category, Aaron Plessinger (Monster Energy Yamalube Star Racing Yamaha) earned his first overall of the season after lodging 1-1 race results.

TLD Red Bull KTM’s Jeremy Martin edged brother and former champion Jeremy Martin (Geico Honda) for second, as defending class champion Zach Osborne (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing) was credited fourth following a significant crash in race two. Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Joey Savatgy concluded the top five.

The next stop on the Pro Motocross calendar is scheduled for 2 June at Thunder Valley in Colorado.
