The FIM World Supercross Championship today unveiled its most competitive rider lineup to date for the 2025 season, underscoring a new era of depth and global star power in the sport.
This year’s roster sees international headliner Jason Anderson join to compete for the World Championship title in SX1, along with the addition of Justin Hill who returns to the series joining Venom Bud Racing Kawasaki. While in SX2 a fierce battle is expected as Max Anstie returns as a full series rider in 2025, looking to reclaim his 2023 world title by facing off against last year’s champion Shane McElrath, who will be looking to make it two world titles in a row.
They are joined by a stellar cast of established race winners and rising talent across the rest of the starting gate, setting the stage for the most anticipated season in championship history. The 2025 season also sees the return of former World Champion Ken Roczen, as well as wildcard entries from Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, Justin Cooper and Tom Vialle adding even more firepower at key events, ensuring world-class matchups across all five rounds.
Round 02, the Buenos Aires City GP, will mark a pivotal moment as the strongest supercross rider lineup assembled outside of the USA in the past two decades – a milestone for Argentina’s passionate motorsport fans. Championship stars including Jason Anderson and Justin Hill will race against big name wildcards including Justin Cooper and Tom Vialle, with more riders to be announced. While in SX2, reigning world champion Shane McElrath is back to defend his title against full season debutant Max Anstie and a name sure to bring the South American fans to town, Brazilian star Enzo Lopes. The event brings global icons together once again in a market already steeped in elite motocross history.
Other highlight moments on the global calendar include Round 03 in Vancouver as Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen take on Justin Cooper in a fierce face off, before Round 04’s Australian GP will see another trio of Ken Roczen, Eli Tomac and this time Cooper Webb doing battle down on the Gold Coast. The season is then wrapped up with Round 05 in Cape Town for the South African GP, as the titles of World Champion are decided and history is written in a high-stakes showdown.
