SuperMotocross 2026 Round 5, Glendale 450 Qualification: Jorge Prado nips Eli Tomac by .009 seconds

Jorge Prado (56.451) nipped Eli Tomac (56.460) in the second qualification session by 0.009 seconds to set the fastest lap in Round 5 of the SuperMotocross World Championship at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Ken Roczen (56.777) continued to show speed in the early stages of 2026 and landed third on the Q2 chart.

Hunter Lawrence (56.850) took a little while to find his speed, but surged at the end to post the fourth-fastest time.

Chase Sexton (56.867) crashed early in Q2, but remounted without injury and surged to fourth after four laps. He was pushed back one position before the session ended.

Combined Qualification Results

Qualification 1

Adam Cianciarulo reported on Race Day Live that Tomac has set the fastest lap in Supercross 94 times entering Glendale, the most of any rider.

Tomac (57.481) edged Sexton (57.647) in the first qualification as he looks to put last week’s disappointment behind him.

“I’m just feeling good right now,” Tomac told Peacock’s Haley Shanley. “There’s no place like this floor. It’s got to be our biggest floor space. I love the high speed. Love that we have some hard pack going on. That was a good practice [of] slowly beating my best time, notching off some laps there.”

It’s been a tough start to the season for Aaron Plessinger (57.779), and he hopes to turn things around this week.

Fourth-place Prado (57.813) and last week’s overall winner Cooper Webb (58.000) rounded out the top five.

Tomac blistered the field last week at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, but an accident in the second race of the Triple Crown format denied him the victory.
