Lee Hogan: Championship Pedigree in the Commentary Box
Lee knows exactly what it takes to win at the highest level. An 11-time Australian supercross and motocross champion, Hogan brings exceptional firsthand knowledge of the sport to his role as race caller.
Having experienced the intensity of professional racing from inside the gate, Lee understands the physical, technical and mental demands facing riders each time they line up. His commentary gives spectators a unique perspective on race craft, bike set-up, track conditions and the high-pressure decisions that can shape a result in moments.
Whether analysing a rider’s choice of line through a technical rhythm lane or capturing the emotion of a last-lap pass, his championship background ensures fans are always close to the action. His insight helps turn the complexity of supercross into compelling viewing for dedicated fans and newcomers alike.
Danny Ham: A Global Racer’s Perspective
Joining Lee on race-calling duties is Danny, a former Australian pro motocross factory team rider with experience competing around the world. Ham represented Australia at the Motocross of Nations, giving him an appreciation of the pride, pressure and preparation required to perform on an international stage.
Since stepping away from professional riding, Danny has remained firmly connected to the sport. He has built a respected career behind the camera as an expert race caller and broadcaster, covering supercross and motocross events across Australia and internationally.
Danny’s ability to combine rider knowledge with clear, engaging storytelling makes him an invaluable part of the broadcast team. He knows how quickly a race can change. His sharp analysis brings those moments into focus, helping audiences understand not only what is happening on track, but why it matters.
Siv Ngesi: Energy, Humour and World-Class Hosting
At the heart of the event atmosphere is host Siv Ngesi, an award-winning South African actor, comedian, producer, presenter, master of ceremonies and entrepreneur.
With a career spanning more than three decades, Siv has become one of Africa’s most dynamic entertainers. His international screen credits include The Woman King, Invictus and 24: Redemption, while his live work has taken him from major television productions to sold-out comedy tours and stages around the world.
Known for his electric energy, infectious humour and ability to connect with any audience, Siv is perfectly placed to capture the spectacle of World Supercross. He brings personality and pace to the fan experience, celebrating the drama of race night while ensuring every moment feels accessible, exciting and unforgettable.
Beyond entertainment, Siv loves riding dirtbikes and also co-founder of the MENstruation Foundation and PadCo, organisations helping tackle period poverty across Southern Africa. His work reflects the passion, purpose and impact he brings to every platform.
Sallie-Grace: Fearless Action-Sports Spirit
Sallie-Grace brings an authentic action-sports edge to the trackside team. A lifelong adrenaline junkie, she has turned her love of high-octane challenges into a career and earned a reputation as a real-life action hero.
Her training spans disciplines including gymnastics and firearms, reflecting the commitment, courage and versatility needed to thrive in demanding environments. Sallie-Grace’s fearless approach mirrors the spirit of Supercross itself: pushing limits, embracing challenge and rising to the moment.
Just as importantly, she is passionate about inspiring the next generation of women to be bold, capable and fearless.
