The news has come, still weakened by a tenacious virus that has been bothering him since last July, Aaron Plessinger is forced to postpone his return to training and will not be able to go to the SX in Paris on November 15 and 16. The official KTM Red Bull rider is replaced by Malcolm Stewart. Very happy to make his comeback in the Capital, on the podium last year, Mookie intends to play for the win on his official HVA Rockstar!

On the sidelines since last summer, weakened by a virus, Aaron Plessinger has not ridden his factory 450 SX-F since July 12 and the Millville event. While he hoped to resume training in September, AP7 keeps postponing the deadline.

Two weeks ago, the Cowboy spoke about his condition: "I'm feeling better, but my body still needs rest. The objective is to try to get back on the bike in a month. As a result, and I'm very disappointed, I won't be able to come to France to compete in the Paris Supercross. I was supposed to discover the event for the first time... Given my current health, I couldn't be ready. I therefore look forward to seeing the French and European public in 2026! We wish him to get back in shape quickly in order to prepare for next year. Sixth in the last Supercross championship, winner of the Foxborough finale, Plessinger will start his eighth season in the premier class next January.

Mookie is back!

The misfortune of some is often the happiness of others, so Plessinger's withdrawal allows Malcolm Stewart to make his comeback at Paris la Défense Arena. A regular in the event, runner-up to Cooper Webb last year, the American is coming off one of his best seasons. Fourth in the final Supercross standings, winner of the first final of his career in Tampa last February, Mookie will still be official HVA Rockstar alongside Hampshire in 2026. In a message posted on the Instagram account of the Paris Supercross, he was very enthusiastic:

"Hi everyone, he's your friend Malcolm. I look forward to seeing you on November 15 and 16 in Paris. I really had a blast last year, count on me to give it my all, as always! I'm super happy to be back in France. Along with brothers Jett and Hunter Lawrence, Cooper Webb and Tom Vialle, Stewart will obviously be one of the big stars of this 2025 edition.
