The FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) announced the signing of the “Geneva Agreement” and the entry of Stark Future into the 2025 World Supercross Championship.
The Geneva Agreement is a three-year commitment between the championship and participating teams and allows Stark Future to become the seventh team to join the starting gate. The fully-electric team will now compete head-to-head against the combustion-engine bikes in an FIM-sanctioned Supercross championship.
The agreement also outlines how WSX will financially support the teams until the end of the 2027 season, with World Supercross paying a participation fee to all teams along with other financial rewards, including a seven-figure prize fund to be contested by teams in the championship.
“At World Supercross, every decision we make puts our fans first,” said Tom Burwell, CEO of World Supercross. “The Geneva Agreement marks a significant milestone in our journey, ensuring top-level rider lineups that raise the bar for competition. This isn’t just a win for the teams; it’s a major step forward for the fans who fuel our sport. By securing long-term certainty for teams and laying the commercial groundwork for sustainable global growth, we’re setting the stage to take the championship to new heights.”
The team’s debut will come at round one of the 2025 World Supercross season at the Malaysian GP, Kuala Lumpur, October 18. The Barcelona-based team will be led by former motocross star Sébastien Tortelli as Team Principal.
“This is the beginning of a new chapter and a great milestone for the future of supercross as a sport,” said Anton Wass, Founder & CEO of Stark Future. “Working with Kurt Nicoll and the team has shown that World Supercross is fully committed to pushing boundaries and creating a platform so that we can prove that electric belongs on the same stage as combustion engines. We’re here to compete at the very top level—we know we’re fast out of the gate, so it’s going to be a really exciting challenge to be out there racing the best teams and riders the sport has to offer.” CN
