The Eli Tomac juggernaut continues as series-leader Tomac runs away from the competition at Seattle’s Lumen Field, notching his fifth consecutive win, and seventh victory of the 2022 AMA Monster Energy Supercross Championship Series. Tomac only saw lappers, as he pulled the holeshot, was never headed in the 26-lap Main Event, and cruised to an eight-second margin over runner-up Jason Anderson. 2017 and 2019 Seattle winner Marvin Musquin rounded out the podium, closing to within two seconds of Anderson at the checkered flag.Jason Anderson leads Malcolm StewartAnderson, Musquin, and Malcolm Stewart were handed a gift by Barcia, who ran in a secure P2 during the first 11 laps until he landed on a Tuff Blox when he got misdirected on a jump takeoff. Although it was a hard crash, Barcia remounted in P5, which he held to the end of the 26-lap Main Event. Stewart rode to a lonely P4 on a night when the top riders were spread out. Cooper Webb did make a move for P5 late in the race, though Barcia repelled Webb’s challenge, finishing nearly three seconds ahead of Webb.Marvin Musquin
Tomac extends his points lead to 54 points with five rounds remaining of the 2022 Supercross Championship Series. To clinch the title, Tomac only needs to score 76 points in the five final rounds. Anderson took control of P2 in the standings, as he is now five points ahead of Barcia, who leads Stewart by one point. Defending Supercross Champion Cooper Webb sits in P5, 13 points behind Stewart and two points ahead of Musquin. Chase Sexton, who did not race in Seattle due to injuries in a crash during qualifying, is P7 in the standings, 17 points shy of Musquin.After a one-week break, Supercross returns on April 9 at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis.

This Podcast is also brought to you by the new modular helmet from Schuberth, the C5. The C5 blends safety with light weight and amazing quietness. Visit Schuberth.com for more information.
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!
