Resurgent Australian Moss seals 'Prince' title with 250 overall.
A commanding final night saw Ken Roczen crowned the ‘King of Paris’ Supercross on Sunday, clean-sweeping all three premier class finals as Matt Moss earned the SX2 class overall with a perfect outing of his own.
Saturday evening saw Monster Energy AMA Supercross champion Eli Tomac go 1-2-1 to lead the overall standings, however, Red Bull-backed Honda rider Roczen starred by winning all three mains on day two to claim the overall.
It was a spectacular performance from the recently-crowned world champion, whose future remains up in the air entering the 2023 season, and victory in France will add to his stocks under a current free-agent status. This weekend he was with the Fire Power Honda/Honda Genuine Honda Racing team of Yarrive Konsky once again.
After riding to 3-1-2 results on Saturday, Roczen edged Tomac by two points under Olympic scoring as the latter went 3-2-2 on the second night. A 5-3-3 scorecard was enough for Roczen’s Honda Genuine teammate Justin Brayton to secure the final place on the podium, with the top-five completed by Red Bull KTM duo Cooper Webb and Marvin Musquin.
