Ken Roczen and Max Anstie both starred in Round 1 of the FIM World Supercross Championship, taking clean sweeps in the SX1 (450cc) and SX2 (250cc) classes, respectively.
Roczen came into this year’s championship looking for a run of form after being laid low with injuries. His commitment to all five rounds of the season underlined the seriousness of his intentions to add to his list of championship victories. And he threw down an early marker in front of a sell-out crowd in South America by taking Superpole and victories in all three races.
In SX2, Anstie repeated the achievement with a commanding display under the lights in Buenos Aires, with three victories and taking the Superpole.
Other notable highlights were Haiden Deegan’s debut on the 450. The American, who was also making his international racing debut, took third place in the event.
The new all-electric Stark team also made their debut in the series, going up against conventional gas-powered machinery.
Stark’s Michael Hicks was hit with two penalties following post-race checks by the governing body, FIM. Hicks was found to have exceeded the power output rules on his electric bike in the Superpole and in the second SX2 race, receiving a five-place penalty. Meanwhile, MotoConcepts’ Cullin Park and Rick Ware Racing’s Coty Schock also picked up penalties for exceeding sound limits.

Defending World Supercross champion Eli Tomac made an immediate impact on his new KTM machine, overcoming a technical track and mounting pressure from Ken Roczen to claim an impressive win in Vancouver.
Tomac, who chose the World Supercross Championship to make his debut with the Austrian manufacturer after cutting ties with Yamaha, wasted no time in impressing on his new machinery.
The 33-year-old came into the Canadian GP as defending World Supercross World Champion and underlined his class with a fine display and already looks at home on his new bike.
The 33-year-old was cheered on by the crowd at Vancouver’s BC Place, but he was pressed hard by Ken Roczen and Jason Anderson, who finished second and third, respectively, behind Tomac.
In SX2, Max Anstie delivered another flawless performance, repeating his Argentine heroics with Superpole and three race wins in the Canadian GP to strengthen his bid for the world crown.The British rider took the Superpole and won all three races in what was another perfect evening for the Team GSM by Star Racing Yamaha rider. The 32-year-old now has a 16-point lead in the championship after two rounds and is in a commanding position to win back the world crown.
Meanwhile, Rick Ware Racing’s Coty Schock took second place in all three races and improved on his results in Buenos Aires while Enzo Lopes completed the podium.
In the post-race penalties, Vince Friese was hit with a two-place penalty for jumping under a medical flag during the SX1 second Sprint Race. The punishment was later amended by the governing body, the FIM, to become a deduction of five championship points.
Meanwhile, Devin Simonson was disqualified from the SX1 Main Race 3 after he had some mechanical issues with his Yamaha. The Rick Ware Racing rider left it too late to get to the gate and missed his sighting lap, resulting in him being penalised by the officials.

Ken Roczen ended his World Supercross stint with a statement win at the Australian GP, edging out a star-studded SX1 field in a night of relentless drama. Christian Craig delivered an emotional maiden main-race victory, while rising talent Haiden Deegan claimed sixth after going bar-to-bar with his childhood heroes.
Fans inside the Cbus Super Stadium were treated to an unbelievable night of action in the SX1 class at the Australian GP. Roczen won the round on his final appearance in the championship for Pipes Motorsport Group.
There was some fantastic racing between the best riders in the world as the sold-out crowd was drawn to their feet. Haiden Deegan, Cooper Webb, and Eli Tomac joined an all-star cast, but it was Roczen who came out on top.
He took victory in the first sprint race while he had to settle for fourth in race two, which was won by Webb. Roczen took third in the main race, scoring enough points to take the victory in the event.
Veteran rider Christian Craig took second place on the night in what proved to be a popular result after winning the main race. The 34-year-old earned his first win in World Supercross.
Wildcard Webb took third place on the night in his one and only appearance in the World Supercross Championship – but the American had a fantastic time on the Gold Coast and was class out on track, beating Tomac to take third. The KTM new-boy was classified fourth for the event.
Meanwhile, Deegan, who was once coached by Craig, took sixth place overall after another impressive night having stepped up to the 450cc class.
Deegan, who made his international racing debut in the Round 1 in Buenos Aires went 5-0-22 saving his best for the main race, which carries more points Joey Savatgy, who took the Superpole, finished the event in fifth place.
In SX2, Max Anstie won all three races in another commanding display to increase his lead. The British rider, who has gone 1-1-1 in the opening two rounds in Buenos Aires and Vancouver, repeated the achievements here in the Cbus Super Stadium on Australia’s Gold Coast.
Defending champion Shane McElrath has had a difficult season so far in the Supercross World Championship but a 5-3-2 finish saw him take second place in the round. Cullin Park was third for MotoConcepts Racing after going 4-2-3 on the night.
The stewards penalised Christian Craig and Haiden Deegan in the SX1 main race of the night for not respecting waved medical flags when Astin Politelli went down.
Neither rider slowed sufficiently and both were docked five championship points as a penalty, although it did not change the outcome of the results on the night.

Jason Anderson lit up the Swedish GP after boosting his world championship chances with a vital win in the fourth round in Stockholm.
Anderson, who came into this season with expectations of challenging for victories, has found them hard to come by.
Following the Australian GP, he jetted back to Florida to spend two days riding his Suzuki to find a set-up that he was comfortable with.
He then flew straight to Sweden, where the Pipes Motorsport Group rider took victory on the night after winning the second sprint race and the main race.
But after Joey Savatgy excelled in Superpole and the first sprint race, Anderson was fearing the worst.
Savatgy took second place in the event but was left disappointed after setting the early pace and winning the first sprint race.
In Race 2, he went down to throw the advantage to Anderson, while Christian Craig also made a mistake that gifted Anderson victory in the second race and turned the tide of the evening.
Craig, who came off his Quad Lock Honda in the second race and was running 10th before fighting back to finish fourth, was left nursing a sore leg. He took third on the night.
It leaves the title race delicately poised ahead of the final round in South Africa, with Anderson, Savatgy, and Craig all separated by just a point.
In SX2 Max Anstie increased his lead in the championship by winning the Swedish GP – but he will have to wait until the final round to discover if he will be crowned this year’s World Champion.
Anstie, who had taken a clean sweep in the opening three rounds in Buenos Aires, Vancouver, and Australia, did not get it all his own way in Sweden.
The Team GSM by Star Racing Yamaha rider missed out on the Superpole to Enzo Lopes and, despite winning the opening two sprint races, it was Brazil’s Lopes who took the victory in the Main Race.

Jason Anderson clinched the title after a thrilling battle with Joey Savatgy in Cape Town. Anderson went 1-1-1 in front of a determined Savatgy as the pair scraped plastics in a tight and tense outing.
Savatgy, a seasoned World Supercross campaigner compared to his rivals, while Anderson was the World Supercross rookie as well as a fresh recruit to the Pipes Motorsport team [as well as to Suzuki RM-Z450 machinery].
Christian Craig was also a newcomer to World Supercross and still with a point to prove in SX1/450SX competition.
In the final moto, the South African air was thick with noise and expectation. The entertainment ramped-up as Savatgy led early on and Anderson chased; the Suzuki man loose, ragged and utterly watchable. The pair swapped positions and cut the track centimetres from disaster and glory. With four laps until the flag, Anderson seemed to have done enough but Savatgy managed one last but unsuccessful lunge into the penultimate corner.
Craig crashed in the first sprint. He then tumbled on the first lap of the second, needing to trail through the pack and managed 9th. Craig redeemed himself with a P3 in Race 3 but Colt Nichols built the better scorecard to walk the third step of the last podium of the year.
In SX2, Max Anstie clinched the title but not the winner of the South African round, as Shane MacElrath won all three races to sit top of the event podium.
Anstie, who won his second World Supercross title, was second on the night ahead of Coty Schock, who topped off an excellent season with another podium finish.
Vince Friese was hit with a penalty in the second sprint race for ‘exceeding the maximum energy tolerance’ as his all-electric Stark bike spiked in power to breach the limits stipulated by the FIM.
The sanction demoted Friese five-places to 10th. It was a similar penalty his Stark teammate, Michael Hicks picked up in the Buenos Aires City GP in Round 1 when he was found to have exceeded the power output rules in the Superpole and in the second SX2 race.
