The 42nd edition of the Paris Supercross delivered two packed nights of racing drama, big crashes, and dominant performances, with Malcolm Stewart completing a clean sweep to become the new King of Paris, while Australia’s Luke Clout impressed across both nights on his way to the SX2 runner-up spot behind Anthony Bourdon.
Paris La Défense Arena was sold out on both Saturday and Sunday, with fans creating a huge atmosphere as the world’s best lit up the tight indoor track.
Night One: Stewart Perfect, Clout Leads the Aussies
Saturday night belonged to Malcolm Stewart, who stamped his authority on the SX1 field by winning all three finals. He had earlier been pipped for Superpole by Hunter Lawrence, who edged the American while Jett Lawrence had an early scare with a small crash in a turn.
The opening SX1 final kicked off chaotically. Defending King Cooper Webb grabbed the holeshot ahead of Stewart, while both factory Hondas hit the deck — Hunter crashed with several riders in turn one, while Jett and Tom Vialle tangled in turn two. The race settled into a head-to-head fight between Webb and Stewart, with Stewart eventually making the move at mid-distance and taking the win ahead of Webb, Cédric Soubeyras, and Hunter, who put on an impressive charge through the pack.
Stewart controlled the second final as well, resisting pressure from Hunter, while Jett took third after passing Webb mid-race. In the last final of the night Stewart once again led early, chased by the Lawrence brothers. Jett’s night came undone when another turn crash forced him to retire, with Hunter also bowing out after a fall in the whoops. Webb inherited second ahead of Vialle, with Soubeyras taking fourth and climbing to third in the provisional King standings.
In SX2, it was a trans-Tasman battle between Australia’s Luke Clout and Frenchman Anthony Bourdon. They each won one moto heading into the final, where Clout pulled a perfect start while Bourdon was buried in traffic. The Australian checked out for a clear victory, with Bourdon recovering to second. Calvin Fonvieille claimed third and extended his French SX2 championship lead.

Night Two: Stewart Seals the King, Bourdon Takes the Prince
Sunday brought packed stands again as fans watched the 2025 titles decided.
After a tough Saturday where he crashed in Superpole and fought through the pack repeatedly, Jett Lawrence bounced back by winning the first two motos of the evening. In the final he started poorly but clawed his way toward Cooper Webb, challenging for second before contact with a lapped rider halted his charge.
The final itself featured a standout early run from Tom Vialle, who led the opening laps in his first 450 main event. But in the end, it was Stewart who rose again, winning the final after finishing second in the first two motos. His consistency across both nights saw him crowned King of Paris — seventeen years after his brother James Stewart last won the title in 2008 — with Webb second overall and Jett Lawrence taking the final podium step.
In the Nations classification, the USA claimed the win ahead of the Rest of the World and France.
The SX2 story took a twist when Luke Clout, who had held the upper hand on Saturday, won Sunday’s opening race but then crashed heavily in the second moto. He remounted dead last and fought to thirteenth, opening the door for Bourdon, who won that race and followed up with another strong second-place ride in the final.
Bourdon — third in 2023 and second in 2024 — finally climbed the last step to become the new Prince of Paris, beating Clout and Fonvieille after a consistent run across all six races.
