Justin Barcia, who won two weeks ago in New Jersey, also is out for the rest of the season after suffering a broken collarbone in a crash during the Nashville main event. That would seem to give the edge to the two-time champion at Denver and in the May 13 finale at Salt Lake City, Utah. Though Sexton has the momentum from winning at Nashville (his third victory this season and second in the past three races), Tomac thrives in elevation. With Cooper Webb sidelined for the final two events because of the concussion he suffered in a Nashville heat race, defending series champion Eli Tomac will enter his hometown round (he hails from Cortez, Colorado) with an 18-point lead over Chase Sexton. The Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series will head Saturday night to Round 16 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, with the 2023 championship race essentially down to two riders.
