SX1: the fight for King of Paris
Ken Roczen is the obvious favourite. He won in Paris in 2022, and he arrives this year as the 2026 US Supercross champion on the PMG Progressive Suzuki. His biggest threats look likely to come from Europe. Tom Vialle has twice won the 250SX East title in America and knows how to win in this building, having been Prince of Paris in 2024. Lucas Coenen, only 19, finished runner-up in the 2025 MXGP world championship and brings outrageous speed, if not much supercross experience.
Jo Shimoda is the wildcard in every sense: Paris will be his first race in 450 supercross, after he won the SuperMotocross title last year on a 250. Triumph brings two Americans: Aaron Plessinger, who missed 2025 with illness, and Jordon Smith, who replaces Malcolm Stewart and makes his first Paris appearance.
The rest of the 16-rider SX1 gate is a who's who of French supercross, including Cédric Soubeyras, Tom Guyon, Lucas Imbert, Maxime Desprey, Charles Lefrançois, Brice Maylin and Jordi Tixier, with Australia's Hayden Melross, Italy's Lorenzo Camporese and Germany's Paul Haberland.
SX2: the Prince of Paris
The SX2 class combines the regulars of the French SX Tour with a strong set of wildcards. Sacha Coenen is the headline name on a factory KTM 250 SX-F. Canada's Cole Thompson rides for GSM Yamaha, and Americans Henry Miller and Mitchell Harrison race for the Bud Racing Kawasaki team. Yannis Lopez and Michael Hicks race the electric Stark Varg, and French wildcard Calvin Fonvieille rides for KTM France.
FMX: the freestyle show
Between the races, the freestyle riders take over the arena with two sessions on each day and a Best Tricks contest on Saturday night. This year's riders are José "Mincha" Canosa, Andreu Lacondeguy and Guillem Navas from Spain, Julien Vanstippen from Belgium and Nicolas Texier from France.
Changes to the entry list
Entry lists can change right up to race weekend through injury or team decisions. Malcolm Stewart's withdrawal is the biggest change so far. We follow the official list and update this page when it changes. See the news section for the latest, or find out how to watch the riders live.
