Tomac comes out on top in KTM debut at WSX in Canada

FIM WSX 2025

Round Two – Vancouver, Canada

The second round of the 2025 FIM World Supercross Championship was contested in Vancouver’s BC Stadium on Saturday night.

The dirt was a point of consternation among the riders, who complained about the inconsistency and rocks that appeared through the surface as it quickly broke down. It was also more technical than the opening round in Argentina.

Unfortunately, the sole Australian entrant in WSX, Matt Moss, aggravated a pelvic injury during practice that forced him to withdraw from the event. The 37-year-old hopes to be fit enough to race round three in Australia late this month.

Round Two – Vancouver – Results

SX1 Race One – Sprint

Eli Tomac and Jason Anderson were side by side down the first rhythm section, but it was the Suzuki man that got the early run to start stretching away up front as Vince Friese challenged Tomac on the opening lap before slipping down the order.

Tomac reeled in Anderson across laps two and three before taking the lead halfway through the eight-lap contest. The Coloradan went on to take the chequered flag two seconds clear of Anderson.

Ken Roczen had to recover from a poor start to work his way up through the field and recorded the fastest lap of the race on his way up to third place. The German finished less than a second behind his Pipes Suzuki team-mate Anderson.

Christian Craig took fourth for Quad Lock Honda ahead of Justin Cooper and Joey Savatgy.

SX1 Race Two – Sprint

Justin Cooper scored the holeshot ahead of Ken Roczen and Eli Tomac when the second Sprint got underway. Cooper and Roczen broke away early as Jason Anderson took it up to Tomac in a battle for third.

Cooper managed to fend off the advances of Roczen for the first couple of laps before the Suzuki man nosed ahead on lap three.  Tomac had broken away from Anderson and then made short work of Cooper as the race broached the halfway point.

Ultimately, Roczen had the speed to keep Tomac at bay and stretched away to a two-second victory over the KTM man.

Jason Anderson completed the podium a further nine seconds behind. A few bike lengths further back, Joey Savatgy claimed fourth, well clear of Quad Lock Honda team-mate Christian Craig.

SX1 Race Three – Main

The 12-lap main started with Eli Tomac out front, and the KTM man was never headed from there.

Ken Roczen was mired mid-pack in the early stages of the contest but wasted no time marching his way forward, blitzing past rider after rider to take second place by lap three.

Tomac showed the speed to maintain his advantage up front, preventing Roczen from ever managing to get within striking distance of his KTM.

Justin Cooper had been second early on before being usurped by Roczen and didn’t have the speed to run with the German. Taking the chequered flag thirteen seconds behind Roczen.

Jason Anderson took fourth ahead of Christian Craig and Joey Savatgy.

Ken Roczen

“It was a very tricky track and not my favourite style of dirt. So I’m actually really stoked with how I raced. I won the second main, and even with a couple of mistakes in the third, I’m in a great spot heading into Anaheim. I feel good physically, my bike is really strong, the team worked awesome, and we were able to come away with another podium.”
