Malcolm Stewart crowned King of Paris Supercross
By Team TMX on 17th Nov 25
Paris once again delivered the goods as the 42nd edition of the iconic Paris Supercross lit up the La Defense Arena, with two packed nights of bar-banging action ending in new champions across both SX1 and SX2. By Sunday evening, Malcolm Stewart had secured the crown as King of Paris, while Anthony Bourdon finally climbed to the top step as Prince of Paris after years of near-misses.
Saturday set the tone as Malcolm Stewart swept all three SX1 motos, putting himself in a commanding position for the overall. Despite Hunter Lawrence topping Superpole, the opening night unravelled early for the Lawrence brothers. Hunter tangled in the first turn of Moto 1, while Jett and Tom Vialle collided just moments later. That left Cooper Webb and Stewart to go head-to-head, with Mookie making the decisive pass at halfway.
From there, Stewart was untouchable. He fended off Hunter in Moto 2, then led Moto 3 from the front as the field crumbled behind - Jett crashing out, Hunter following suit three laps later, and Webb salvaging second ahead of Vialle and a consistent Cédric Soubeyras.
Sunday flipped the script early as Jett Lawrence rebounded in style, claiming the first two motos with trademark precision. The final moto saw Vialle lead early on his debut 450 night before a hard-charging Cooper Webb and Jett locked horns for second. But as they battled, Stewart once again made the moment his own - taking the Moto 3 win and sealing the King of Paris title 17 years after brother James last won it.
Behind Stewart, Webb secured second overall, with Jett completing the podium after salvaging big points on Sunday. Hunter finished fourth despite the crashes, while Soubeyras claimed a strong fifth ahead of Vialle, who impressed with growing confidence across the weekend.
Saturday’s SX2 action belonged to Aussie Luke Clout, who won the final moto to secure the night ahead of Anthony Bourdon. The pair were glued together all evening, each taking a race win before Clout edged the decider. Calvin Fonvieille kept his French championship hopes strong with third.
Sunday, however, brought the twist. Clout opened with another win, looking nailed-on for the Prince of Paris title - until a big crash in Moto 2 left him dead last and fighting through to just 13th. That opened the door wide, and Bourdon didn’t waste it. He stormed to the Moto 2 win, added two second places, and finally claimed the SX2 overall, completing a progression of third (2023), second (2024), and now first.
Clout held on to second overall, with Fonvieille third.
