Ken Roczen came out on top of the overall results after two days and six motos of racing at the 2022 Paris Supercross. The German Honda rider finished second overall on Saturday with 3-1-2 moto finishes behind Yamaha mounted Eli Tomac, who had 1-2-1 moto finishes. But Roczen was fast and closed a five second gap on Tomac after moving through from a mediocre start in the final moto to serve notice that he was in Paris to win. For Roczen, that strong Saturday final moto was backed up with three moto wins on Sunday and the overall for the weekend. Tomac finished third in the first moto on Sunday and then runner up to Roczen in the second and third motos to finish second overall for the weekend. Roczen had to work hard for the win as Tomac pressured him, especially in the second and third motos.
The seeming ageless Justin Brayton finished third overall for the weekend. The SmarTop MotoConcepts Honda rider used 2-7-4 moto scores to edge out Cooper Webb (5-3-5) for third on Saturday and improved on Sunday to take 5-3-3 moto scores and beat KTM’s Marvin Musquin (2-5-4) for third overall on the night.
For the weekend overall, Webb was fourth and multi-time King of Paris Musquin was fifth in the 450 class.
In the 250 class, Australian Matt Moss raced a Bud Racing Kawasaki to the weekend overall for the Prince of Paris crown. On Saturday, American Chris Blose, also racing a Bud Racing Kawasaki won all three motos for the overall ahead of fellow American Jace Owen, who raced a Honda to 3-2-2 moto finishes. Third on Saturday was Frances Yanis Irsuti (Kawasaki) with 2-3-5 moto finishes.
Moss came back strong on Sunday to win all three motos and the overall for the weekend. Owen was again second on Sunday, this time with 8-2-2 moto scores. Third on Sunday was Frances’ Brice Maylin with 3-5-4 moto scores on a GasGas.
Moss topped Owen and Blose for the 250 class overall for the weekend.
