2023 PARIS SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Since 1987, generations of the sport’s superstars have traveled to France to compete in one of the most prestigious events on the off-season calendar: the Paris Supercross. Launched at the iconic Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy and won by many of the all-time greats, this year’s running of the two-day race is poised to be an instant classic after the Lariviere Organization’s efforts to create a starting line up worthy of the fortieth anniversary and the “King of Paris” award.

Will this weekend be a true preview of what’s to come in 2024? Scroll down to see the SX1 and SX2 entry lists, schedules for Saturday and Sunday, digital renderings of the track, and how you can watch the action live or as an on-demand replay through MXGP-TV.

TRACK MAP

Although the Paris La Défense Arena doesn’t have the intimacy of Bercy, the massive venue allows a proper track to be built, with enough room for the entire paddock to be located inside, as well. This year’s track will feature all of the staple obstacles, including two long rhythm lanes, a small sand pit, big air triple, and whoops. Taking care of the course is slightly different than what we’re used to in the US; track crews will reface jumps and eliminate ruts from corners during the scheduled intermissions, and go over certain sections with rollers until the sticky clay is smooth as glass.


BROADCAST FEED & LIVE TIMING

The official livestream pay-per-view broadcast will be through MXGP-TV and will show four hours of coverage each day, including opening ceremonies, every SX1-SX2 race, and commentary from Paul Malin.
