Ken Roczen has been confirmed as the first marquee name for the 43rd edition of the Paris Supercross, set to take place on November 21–22 in the French capital. The German star, one of the most recognizable figures in international supercross, returns with a clear objective: to fight for the top step once again at an event known for attracting elite-level talent.
Roczen already has winning pedigree in Paris, having been crowned “King of Paris” in 2022 with Honda. He followed that up with a solid fourth-place finish the following year aboard Suzuki. Now, he heads back to the event in strong form, currently enjoying an impressive season in the AMA Supercross, highlighted by his second win of the year in Detroit, where he significantly closed the gap to the championship leader.
His announcement is the first step in building what is expected to be another stacked lineup. The Paris Supercross has long established itself as one of the premier standalone events outside the official calendar, consistently drawing top-tier riders. Among the potential additions is the reigning “King of Paris,” Malcolm Stewart, which would further elevate the competitive level of this year’s edition.
