The 42nd Supercross of Paris takes place this weekend, November 15–16, at the Paris La Défense Arena. Here’s a look back at all the Kings and Princes of Paris throughout the years—and a few key notes from one of Europe’s most prestigious events.
Formerly known as Bercy, this event has long been considered the biggest Supercross race in Europe. Since its debut in 1984, it has hosted countless international stars—most of them from the United States—battling for the coveted King of Paris title.
The Winningest
French hero David Vuillemin, a long-time Yamaha rider, holds the record for the most King of Paris crowns with four titles (1999, 2000, 2001, and 2003).
Close behind are Marvin Musquin (2016, 2017, 2021) and Justin Barcia (2010, 2013, 2019), who each have three titles to their names.
A New Era of Kings
Since 2022, we’ve seen a new wave of first-time winners: Ken Roczen, Jett Lawrence, and Cooper Webb have each claimed their maiden King of Paris crowns.



Can this trend continue in 2025? Both Webb (the reigning King) and Jett Lawrence are back in action, but stars like Hunter Lawrence, Malcolm Stewart, and last year’s Prince of Paris, Tom Vialle—making his SX1 debut with HRC—will be eager to add their names to the list.
