WSX GP Canada: Race Results Round 1

Webb WSX Canada 26 2

The 2026 FIM World Supercross Championship got underway in Calgary, Canada, with Cooper Webb and Max Anstie emerging as the overall winners of the opening round.

In SX1, Webb secured the overall victory after finishing second and first in the two Sprint Races. The Main Event was red-flagged and later cancelled due to severe weather conditions, meaning only the Sprint Race results counted toward the overall classification. Dean Wilson delivered a consistent performance to finish second overall (3-3), while Sprint Race 1 winner Justin Hill completed the podium in third (1-5).

The opening round proved difficult for reigning champion Jason Anderson, who suffered a DNF in Sprint Race 1 following a crash and front-end issue before ending the night outside the podium positions.

SX1 Main Event | 12 Laps (Cancelled)

Cooper Webb took control of the Main Event from the start and appeared on his way to completing a perfect finish to the night. However, severe weather struck McMahon Stadium, with a powerful wind storm forcing officials to red-flag the race.

Although seventh of the scheduled 12 laps had been completed, the Main Event was ultimately cancelled and did not count toward the overall results.

As a result, Webb secured the overall victory through his Sprint Race scores of 2-1. Dean Wilson finished second overall with consistent 3-3 results, while Justin Hill completed the podium after combining his Sprint Race win with a fifth-place finish in Race 2 (1-5).

SX2 Main Event | 12 Laps

Stark Racing completed a hat-trick of holeshots as Brian Hsu grabbed the lead for the third consecutive race. Once again, however, Max Anstie wasted little time moving forward, climbing to second before the end of the opening lap and taking over the lead on Lap 2.

Behind him, Cameron McAdoo and Michael Hicks worked their way into the top three as misfortune struck two contenders. Hsu was forced to retire with a throttle issue, while Rick Ware Racing’s Devin Simonson exited the race after a problem with a tuff block.

The retirements reshuffled the order and promoted Cole Thompson and Kyle Peters into fourth and fifth positions respectively.

Out front, Anstie completed a perfect night in Calgary, sweeping all three races to claim the overall victory. Hicks secured second overall with 3-2-3 finishes, while McAdoo rounded out the podium after posting a consistent 4-4-2 scorecard throughout the evening.

SX1 Sprint Race 2 | 8 Laps

Zaragoza held on for second after an intense battle with Harrison and a charging Hill, who recovered from his early crash but suffered another small fall while fighting for fourth place. Harrison completed the podium in third.
