Lucas Coenen’s Supercross debut will have to wait. The Belgian rider will miss the 42nd edition of Paris Supercross, scheduled for November 21-22, after recently undergoing surgery to repair a sciatic nerve injury in his hip that has troubled him since mid-July.
Following the announcement of his surgery, doubts had already emerged over his participation in the French event. Coenen has now confirmed his withdrawal, choosing to prioritise a proper recovery ahead of his planned move to the United States in 2027.
Jason Anderson (HEP Suzuki) will take his place, returning to an event he knows well after winning the Paris Supercross title in 2018.
This is the second confirmed rider change for this year’s event. Reigning Paris Supercross King Malcolm Stewart will also be absent after signing a new deal with Monster Energy Kawasaki. Jordon Smith has been announced as his replacement.
