2024 Daytona | Press Day ft. Tomac, Roczen, Webb, and More

We chat with Eli Tomac, Ken Roczen, Cooper Webb, Aaron Plessinger, Justin Barcia, Hunter Lawrence, Coty Schock, Jalek Swoll, and Max Anstie as they gear up for the eighth round of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross season. Daytona is considered by many to be the true start to the season, see how the sports stars feel, think, and have prepared for this race.

[@therealjd1503]

The one thing about having all these great riders and personalities is that no matter who wins, I’m stoked for someone and bummed for the others. This season, these riders, this sport couldn’t be better at the moment🤘🤘

Webb, since moving into the 450 class, has only finished 3rd or 2nd. The only thre people to beat him at dayton have been Justin Brayton, Eli Tomac, and Ken rockzen. Ken finished second, and of course, Eli won.

Watch Jett pass Tomac and the changing of the guard. Maybe then Vital will put the points leader of the thumbnail.

[@herbcanter2114]

That won't be a surprise because Tomac clearly said he's getting better which means he's NOT 100% . Tomac will make it very clear when he's back to being 100%. Now if Jettson comes up short it's all over for you Jett fans .
