As World Supercross returns to Europe for its lone 2025 stop, the Swedish GP in Stockholm is set to deliver high-stakes battles across SX1 and SX2. From Max Anstie’s title push to a tightening team race and a packed 3Arena atmosphere, here are the five storylines that will define the penultimate round.

1. Max Anstie Could Clinch the SX2 Title If Everything Clicks

Coming into Stockholm, Anstie leads the SX2 standings in dominant fashion, having won all three motos at the Gold Coast and extended his winning streak.

If he repeats that kind of consistency in Stockholm – a venue bringing World Supercross back to Europe for the first time this season – he could put the crown within reach well before Cape Town. With every point now critical, the Swedish GP might be the night he stamps his ticket to the championship. 

2. Title Fight Heats Up in SX1

With another round under their belts, Christian Craig, Jason Anderson and Joey Savatgy are all in the mix for the SX1 title as the championship approaches its climax. Expect aggressive gate starts, tactical races and perhaps showdowns as each rider steels themselves for what could be a final push before Cape Town.

3. The Tightening Team Battle – It’s All Up for Grabs

As the series moves into its penultimate round, the fight isn’t just for individual glory -the team standings are heating up too. Teams across SX1 and SX2 know every point counts, and Sweden could reshuffle the pecking order.

With riders pushing hard for both personal and team honour, expect strategic gate picks, conservative passes, and plenty of pressure to deliver for the squad.

4. Return to Europe – A Big-Crowd Feel at 3Arena, Stockholm

Sweden marks the only European stop on the 2025 calendar, and for many riders and fans alike it’s a full circle moment. The 3Arena in Stockholm will host what’s shaping up to be a packed, high-energy night – the perfect arena for supercross spectacle.

For European fans who’ve followed the season from afar, it’s their chance to see the world’s best up close, and for riders, the return to European soil could bring renewed adrenaline and focus.

5. The Battle for SX2 Podium

Even if the title slips out of reach for some, the fight for second – and the honour of finishing as runner-up – remains intense in SX2. Riders like Coty Schock, Cullin Park and Shane McElrath are all still in the mix, and Stockholm offers a last-big chance to climb the standings before the final round.

With Anstie drawing the focus, this could be a golden opportunity for one of the challengers to score strong moto finishes, take advantage of any slip-ups, and perhaps shake up the order behind him.
