The Paris Supercross 2025 brought elite international dirt bike talent to the Paris La Défense Arena on November 15 and 16, 2025. As Europe's premier indoor dirt bike showcase, the 42nd edition delivered high-stakes racing across the SX1 and SX2 classes, featuring world-class names like Malcolm Stewart, Cooper Webb, and the Lawrence brothers.
Staged inside a packed stadium with a tightly technical indoor track layout, the event combined intense heat races, triple-crown style finals, and freestyle motocross exhibitions. Malcolm Stewart captured the prestigious King of Paris crown after a masterclass performance, while Anthony Bourdon claimed the Prince of Paris title in the SX2 division.
SX1 Class: Malcolm Stewart Claims the Crown
The premier SX1 class featured a stacked lineup of international champions, including defending champion Cooper Webb, American Honda stars Jett and Hunter Lawrence, and local favorite Tom Vialle. Right from Saturday night's gate drops, the racing proved unpredictable.
Malcolm Stewart (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna) set the tone early by dominating the opening night. Stewart swept all three races on Saturday, capitalizing on chaotic first-turn incidents that caught out heavy hitters like Hunter and Jett Lawrence. While Cooper Webb applied consistent pressure throughout the weekend, Stewart's speed through the massive rhythm sections and technical whoops kept him at the front. Further insight on the subject has been published by BBC.
Sunday night featured fierce counters from the competition. Jett Lawrence bounced back with dominant heat wins, and Tom Vialle led laps early in the final. However, Stewart stayed composed, secured victory in the closing moto, and sealed the overall King of Paris title. Cooper Webb finished second overall, with Jett and Hunter Lawrence rounding out the top tier.
SX2 Class and Prince of Paris Battle
The SX2 division showcased Europe's top 250cc specialists and international wildcards battling through the French SX Tour championship framework. Australia's Luke Clout (Bud Racing Kawasaki) came out swinging, sharing heat wins and trading fastest laps with local contender Anthony Bourdon (Honda SR Motoblouz).
The battle for the Prince of Paris crown came down to the final motos. Luke Clout held a strong position heading into Sunday, but a costly crash in the second moto opened the door. Anthony Bourdon capitalized with steady, mistake-free riding, securing the overall SX2 victory and the Prince of Paris title ahead of Clout and Calvin Fonvieille.
Track Design and Venue Experience
The Paris La Défense Arena offers one of the most unique atmospheres in global Supercross. Builders trucked in tons of dirt to construct a temporary track packed with challenging obstacles:
- The Whoop Sections: Steep, demanding rhythm lanes that separated the podium contenders from the pack.
- Tight Rhythm Lanes: Designed to test bike setup and precision, frequently causing action-packed line choices and occasional first-turn pileups.
- Freestyle Arena: Alongside the racing, FMX riders like Julien Vanstippen and Rob Adelberg entertained fans with aerial backflips and whip contests between gate drops.
