Eli Tomac continued his dominance of the 2022 AMA Monster Energy Supercross Championship Series, nailing down his sixth win of the season at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Although Tomac grabbed his fourth consecutive win, it wasn’t an easy race. The track was treacherous and the racing tight. For much of the Main Event, the Top 5 riders were within five seconds of each other.After nabbing the holeshot, Justin Barcia led for nine laps before getting passed by Jason Anderson. Within a lap, Barcia put a hard pass on Anderson in a flat right-hand corner, knocking Anderson down. With Anderson out of the Top 5, Tomac moved into P2 and began stalking Barcia. On lap 20 of the 27-lap race, Tomac put a convincing move on Barcia. Tomac was not seriously threatened until the final lap when Tomac bobbled in the brutal whoops, allowing Barcia to close in. When the checkered flag flew, Barcia was 1.3 seconds behind the winner Tomac. Anderson finished in P6.

Vince Friese finished in P9, despite being lapped twice, with Ryan Breece taking P10, his first Top 10 Main Event finish.Tomac leaves Indianapolis with a 51-point lead over Jason Anderson and Justin Barcia, who are tied at 240 point.

This week, in the first segment Editor Don Williams talks to us about the new Kawasaki Versys 650 LT. It’s the middleweight ADV style machine that uses the same 650 parallel twin motor as the Ninja 650, so it’s an excellent performer in a user-friendly, good looking package.
In the second segment, I chat with one of my dearest industry friends—now retired Honda PR executive, Jon Seidel. Jon’s fascinating career spans some 30 years with Big Red, and gave him some great experiences with some incredible machines. I was fortunate enough to be invited on many of the press launches that he organized. His new project is documenting and saving many of the old archives from years gone by—and incidentally, if you have anything that may be of value to the project, please contact us by email at producer@ultimatemotorcycling.com and we’ll pass it all on to Jon.
So on that note, from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
