AUSTRALIA (July 1, 2022) – SX Global, the Australian sports and entertainment company spearheading the FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX), is pleased to announce that two-time 450 motocross champion Ken Roczen has officially committed to compete in the 2022 FIM-sanctioned World Supercross Championship series, slated to begin in early October.

One of the most successful and prominent riders in the sport, Roczen, a 28-year-old German native,
comes to WSX boasting an impressive resume, including 48 combined professional 450cc and 250cc victories at events around the world. The 2022 WSX Global Championship will see Roczen bring his incredible talent and championship pedigree to thousands of die-hard fans in stadiums around the world throughout the inaugural three-round series. Roczen is currently in negotiations to finalize an agreement to compete for one of the series’ 10 exclusively licensed teams, with details to be released by the team once an agreement is finalized.

“The WSX series is a unique opportunity to compete on a truly global scale, and I’m thrilled to be a part of that,” said Roczen. “I haven’t raced oversees in a very long time so I’m looking forward to bringing supercross to die-hard fans at these international events in 2022, all while competing for an FIM-sanctioned world title. I’m thrilled for what will no doubt be an unbelievable experience and a fantastic springboard for a full assault on my 2023 Supercross and Motocross championship goals.”

“Ken Roczen is an absolute superstar of supercross, recognized across the globe. To have him compete in our inaugural season as we usher in a new, global era of supercross, is nothing short of incredible,” said Adam Bailey, director – Motorsport of SX Global. “Ken embodies all the qualities that make supercross athletes, the toughest and most inspirational athletes in the world. It’s only fitting that he become one of our marquee challengers for the 2022 FIM World Championship crown.”

The FIM World Supercross Championship will annually take place in the second half of the year, with 2022 events from late October through November. 2022 will serve as a “pilot” season, allowing the championship to establish itself and build momentum going into 2023. From 2023, and subsequent years, will see the FIM World Supercross Championship expand annually between June and November, with up to twelve events in 2023.

Let's not get too crazy here.

MX Sports and Feld can still counter offer to make it more enticing for the riders IMO the U.S.Series still have the upper hand at the moment.

At best, what they get Musquin, Roczen, and Wilson for 2022? Guessing Webb and/or Tomac might try for 2023 based on their SX only contracts.

Definitely since his Honda contract is up . By committing to one of these teams doesn't that rule out racing AMA SX ?

Who knows? Maybe he worked it out with Honda to throw a little support to a team with no conflicting sponsors. Maybe Honda didn't offer him what he wanted and he's only doing WSX from now on? (BTW, notice his jersey is free of any logos besides Fox and Honda?)

With his issues with completing a full year of racing, I'm not sure he's willingly signing up to give up his off season. SX only if he does come back to AMA? Are we watching the last of Ken in the outdoors right now?
