The FIM Supercross World Championship begins on 8 August in Canada. The teams and riders have now been announced. Alongside the regular riders within the teams, a number of wildcard riders (such as Tom Vialle) will take part in selected races.
Cooper Webb is the top favourite
In the past, superstars such as Eli Tomac and Haiden Deegan could only be secured for the occasional wildcard appearance. This year’s biggest coup is the participation of Cooper Webb. The five-time Supercross champion (3x450 and 2x250) will contest the entire series for Team Rick Ware Racing Yamaha and is therefore the top favourite. Defending champion Jason Anderson is also back in the line-up, and other strong American riders – including Joey Savatgy, Colt Nichols, Christian Craig and Justin Hill – have signed up. Supercross champion Ken Roczen will not be taking part in the WSX series. In the SX2 class, British defending champion Max Anstie is likely to be among the frontrunners.
Two German riders set to compete in the SX2
Nico Koch, who has already gained Supercross experience in the USA, will be competing in the SX2 class for the ‘595 Racing’ team. Brian Hsu will be taking part in the WSX series on a Stark electric bike.
