A vintage display from Ken Roczen on the Suzuki for PMG dominated the opening round of the 2025 World Supercross Championship. Here are the Power Rankings for the SX2 class. Lewis Phillips from WSX put together these cool power rankings. You can watch the full coverage right here: Watch World Supercross or BUY TICKETS FOR THE CANADIAN GP.

1. Ken Roczen (10/10)

Similar to the SX2 victor, Max Anstie, Roczen was faultless from the first lap to the last. There is no reason to doubt his position of favourite as Vancouver beckons.

2. Haiden Deegan (10/10)

A 450F podium on debut, despite being forced to the outside gate and hampered by clutch issues in two of three races. It’s a performance that underlines just how impressive #38 is.

3. Christian Craig (10/10)

Perhaps this score is too influenced by an impressive first race, Craig showed signs of his former self with very impressive speed. This could be a breakout season for the Quad Lock Honda star.

4. Devin Simonson (9/10)

Seventh marked an impressive overperformance from Simonson. Usually a 250F regular, he held his own in the premier class and even gave Deegan a brief challenge.

5. Justin Cooper (9/10)

Second overall and twice runner-up to Roczen, yet it’s fair to wonder if Cooper had more to give. The opportunity was there, particularly with Roczen racing sick.

6. Jason Anderson (8/10)

An educational day for Anderson, who will make changes to his shock before Vancouver. A title favorite for so many, he put solid points on the board.

7. Joey Savatgy (8/10)

Luckless Savatgy, down in the very first practice session through no fault of his own, was thankful to exit Buenos Aires with a respectable score yet deeply frustrated.

8. Jorge Zaragoza (7/10)

Zaragoza’s 14th-place finish does not reflect his speed or form in Stark’s WSX debut. #99 made headlines with aggressive racing and some impressive defensive work.

9. Ryan Breece (6/10)

Breece was one spot shy of points in the two sprint races but recovered well to take seventh in the last race and eighth overall. There was clearly more in the tank.

10. Matt Moss (6/10)

Moss’ preparation was questioned before the Buenos Aires City GP, but he proved competitive and showed why he should never be counted out.

11. Austin Politelli (6/10)

A sixth in the first sprint was Politelli’s standout moment – and evidence that he can overperform when it counts. Buenos Aires’ tighter layout was better suited to his skillset than Vancouver will be.

12. Gregory Aranda (5/10)

Team GSM is displeased with the end score of tenth overall, but Aranda showed potential at points and confirmed that he should feature higher in the results. It was not as bleak as some state.

13. Henry Miller (4/10)

A quiet, disappointing day for Miller who salvaged something with a top ten in the last race. The longer duration of that stint allowed him to shine a little brighter.

14. Justin Hill (2/10)

Justin Hill is one of the most explosive, exciting talents in supercross. None of those qualities were on show at the Buenos Aires City GP.

15. Jordi Tixier (2/10)

Tixier was down on lap one of the first race and run over in the chaos. That was indicative of how the rest of his night would go.

16. Vince Friese (1/10)

An extremely disappointing round for Friese. Eyes were on his first showing with Stark but the stack of zeros on his scorecard tell the story.

250 Power Rankings

Max Anstie dominated the opening round of the 2025 World Supercross Championship. Here are the Power Rankings for the SX2 class.

1. Max Anstie (10/10)

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Anstie’s performance – unbelievable, dominant, magnificent and more. Simply put, it was perfect.

2. Cullin Park (10/10)

Park came into round one underrated, and his performance proved it. Seventh on paper, but arguably the second-best SX2 rider on the night.

3. Shane McElrath (8/10)

The result hides some of McElrath’s mistakes, though it’s clear he’ll need to step it up to beat Anstie. It was one of his poorer SX2 appearances.

4. Cole Thompson (8/10)

Silently effective, Thompson was impactful over the program and pushed some of championship contenders out of the Superpole. A solid start.

5. Enzo Lopes (7/10)

It was an anonymous day for Lopes – far from his best – but he came alive in the last SX2 race. It was a promising sign of what’s to come.

6. Coty Schock (7/10)

Schock was largely a non-factor, which was surprising given that many had him pegged as the favourite. There is work to be done.

7. Kyle Peters (6/10)

There’s little doubt Peters will improve as the championship heads to Canada. It wasn’t a bad start but he certainly did not show his full potential.

8. Maxime Desprey (5/10)

The SX2 veteran performed as expected – steady, if unspectacular. It was always going to be difficult for him to challenge the riders in front.

9. Anthony Bourdon (4/10)

Bourdon’s lack of time on the CRF250R probably hurt his performance, but he is better than this. Nowhere near contention this time, though he has the potential to fight for the podium.

10. Kyle Chisholm (4/10)

Chisholm wasn’t at his best – a lack of time aboard the RM-Z250 didn’t help – but he showed signs of life in the last race. Predicting what comes next is difficult.

11. Robbie Wageman (3/10)

The Pipes Motorsport Group was let down by its SX2 athletes in the team classification. Wageman should be in the top seven, even on a bad day.

12. Lance Kobusch (3/10)

A tricky debut for Stark in the SX2 class. Kobusch was a non-factor, merely a participant despite his raw talent. There has to be more than this.

13. Noah Viney (3/10)

Viney made headlines with an early dive for the lead in race one but couldn’t turn the aggression into a result. A disappointing first outing.

14. Michael Hicks (3/10)

Hicks’ pace proved difficult to assess after he was penalised in both Superpole and race two for “exceeding the maximum energy tolerance per lap”, as the Stark rider was held to account by the regulations.
