16 of the world’s best Supercross riders do battle around BC Place in Vancouver, to decide the winner of the 2024 WSX Canadian GP.
The FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) is back in 2024 with the season-opening Canadian Grand Prix hosted by BC Place in Vancouver. High drama and high-octane racing are all but guaranteed with the calibre of the riders second only to their hunger and determination to win.
It’s all to play for going into the first event of the season, and once the revs rise and the gate drops, the talk stops. Here are your 2024 Canadian GP WSX results…
CANADIAN GP WSX RESULTS
Practice
The top five in Saturday’s Practice session remained the same bar one – Luke Clout replaced Rick Ware Racing team-mate Mitchell Oldenburg – as reigning double champion Ken Roczen got dialled in, going fastest by two-tenths over Friday pacesetter Eli Tomac.
Clout ended Practice as the third fastest rider followed by the Fire Power Honda duo of Joey Savatgy and Dean Wilson in fourth and fifth respectively.
Qualifying
With practice drills now complete, the pressure mounted for riders in the roaring 450cc class. The time to set a blistering lap time and determine gate slots for the rest of the night had come.
Once again, it was Roczen on imperious form almost three-tenths quicker than Tomac who, in turn, was just shy of three-tenths faster than Savatgy. Clout rounded out the top four making it the same four riders as in Practice who progressed to SuperPole’s one-lap shootout.PosRiderTeamTime

SuperPole
The top four in 450 upped the ante further still in the one-lap SuperPole showdown, but Roczen remained the persistent pacesetter to claim the #1 gate. Tomac’s lap placed him two-tenths back in second while Savatgy’s effort yielded third and Clout took fourth.
Race 1
Vince Friese secured the first 450 holeshot of the night, but a pair of Supercross titans in Roczen and Tomac lurked close behind. Never one to shy away from robust defensive riding, Friese held off Roczen who had to slow to avoid contact, allowing Tomac to slip through into second.
Tomac then made his attempt to get around Friese and after one unsuccessful move, made it stick. Roczen wasn’t going to take that lying down and cut underneath the pair of them to take the lead. After the halfway point, Tomac closed onto Roczen’s back wheel using much tighter lines, but eventually the German won out ahead of Tomac and Savatgy in third.
Race 2
For the second headline race of the night, Tomac claimed the holeshot with Dean Wilson in second and Matt Moss in third. The big surprise was Roczen in 11th after a sluggish getaway.
After a promising start, Wilson crashed out, elevating Savatgy into second, but he dropped back soon after. Friese and Oldenburg occupied second and third as the resurgent Roczen’s comeback continued getting past them both in one corner.
Friese and Savatgy went into combat over second, but Oldenburg lurked behind and contact resulted in Friese crashing out. A rare mistake from Roczen – who’d climbed back from 11th to second – dropped the reigning champion all the way back down to 11th. Tomac eventually won by a whopping 22 seconds over Savatgy and Nichols.
Race 3
A lengthy 12-lap race awaited the 450 riders and initially, it looked to be Tomac who held the advantage at Turn 1, but Friese then edged ahead before Roczen ducked underneath the pair of them. Making quick work of Friese, Tomac secured second and set about chasing after the #1 bike.
Yet more aggressive riding from Friese held off Savatgy, but the Fire Power Honda rider eventually passed, by which point he’d lost seven seconds to Tomac and Roczen. The leading pair, meanwhile, battled it out for the race lead and Tomac eventually finished ahead of Roczen and Savatgy.
SuperFinal
Seizing the advantage with the final holeshot of the night, Tomac exited Turn 1 of the first-ever mixed class SuperFinal ahead of Friese and Roczen. Wary of more tactics from Friese, Roczen made a point of getting past as quickly as possible over the whoops.
Try as he might, Roczen was unable to make any inroads into Tomac’s advantage, who extended his gap to a mammoth 16 seconds. Such was his advantage that he was able to run for the final half a lap and cross the line with a flat rear tyre. Roczen followed him home in second while Nichols muscled past Friese to finish third on the road.
On the overall podium, there was little disputing who the top step belonged to; Tomac took victory ahead of Roczen and Savatgy, setting up a tantalising title fight prospect as WSX heads to Perth for its first-ever double-header.
Eli Tomac, CDR Yamaha with Star Racing, said: “It was a fantastic evening of racing. Kenny rode well in the first two races, and we were battling out there. I found my rhythm in the last couple of races, and everything just clicked. The energy from the Vancouver crowd was incredible, and I’m looking forward to the next round in Perth.”
Following Friday’s preliminary practice session, the SX2 riders hit the track once again for an evening of more exploratory practice laps, blistering pace in qualifying and plenty of dirt-spraying, bar-banging action in the 2024 FIM World Supercross (WSX) Canadian GP’s four adrenaline-fueled SX2 races.
Top-drawer Supercross action doesn’t come much better than this. Here are your 2024 Canadian GP SX2 results…
Canadian GP SX2 Results
Practice
Reigning SX2 champion and Canadian GP Wildcard Max Anstie was once again the one to watch in Saturday’s first 250cc session, dominating the timesheets for much of Practice. He didn’t have it all his own way though, with WSX rookie Coty Schock briefly taking the top spot, before Anstie reasserted his authority to go fastest overall.
Qualifying
Anstie carried his momentum straight through into Qualifying, where he streaked five-tenths clear of the pack with a time of 54.523. Schock’s Practice performance was no fluke either, as the American took second a tenth clear of Fire Power Honda’s Thompson and fellow rookie Ryder Kingsford, all of whom had booked their place in the SuperPole showdown.

SuperPole
The first SuperPole session of the season was as tightly contested as we’ve come to expect of the SX2 class. Anstie still came out on top though, just under a tenth ahead of Thompson and the ever-impressive rookies of Schock and Kingsford in third and fourth respectively.
Race 1
Race 1 was not only the first of the night, but of the 2024 WSX season and of three SX2 races at the Canadian GP. The holeshot belonged to Anstie, who had the remarkable 19-year-old Kingsford and Thompson in tow. Schock slotted into fourth and Lopes into fifth while McElrath languished down in 10th.
Kingsford clung to the back of Anstie’s coattails in the early laps but dropped back as the race progressed, while Kyle Chisholm and Cullin Park went into battle on Lap 5, the latter snatching sixth place.
By the chequered flag, McElrath had vaulted up to seventh, but it was Anstie who took the first victory of the night ahead of Kingsford and Thompson.
Race 2
It was Chisholm’s holeshot in Race 2, but McElrath got himself alongside and the pair went handlebar-to-handlebar for the first few corners before he deftly took the lead. Further back, Anstie slotted into fourth but quickly passed Viney for third.
On Lap 2, Anstie overhauled Chisholm to move into second, while Schock was on the move and followed Anstie through to third. The Brit then set about bridging the four-second gap to McElrath, but as he got close he spun up his rear wheel on corner exit and dropped back. Eventually, it was McElrath who sealed the victory ahead of Anstie and Schock.
Race 3
In the first 12-lap contest of the night, McElrath headed the field out of Turn 1 while Chisholm got another great start in second and Anstie slotted into third. It wouldn’t last though, as the Brit fell off on the rhythm section of Lap 1. With Chisholm also dropping back, that allowed Lopes into second and Schock not far behind in third.
Rick Ware Racing team-mates Schock and Lopes then went into combat for second, a battle Schock won but crashed out of shortly after, elevating Canadian home favourite Thompson up to third.
The fallen front runners of Anstie and Schock then fought over eighth, but Anstie would fall yet again, dropping even further back. Both riders would recover well though, with Schock crossing the line in sixth and Anstie in ninth. Further forward, McElrath took his second win of the night ahead of Lopes and Thompson.
SuperFinal
Amidst the chaos of a mixed class start, it was Anstie who emerged at the head of the SX2 runners at the start of WSX’s first SuperFinal. McElrath was close behind though, and piled the pressure on the reigning champion early on, but he had to quickly switch focus to fend off his Fire Power Honda team-mate Thompson behind.
Five laps into the 12-lap race, Anstie crashed out of the lead handing the SX2 victory to McElrath, second to Enzo Lopes and third to Schock who kicked off his rookie campaign with an admirable performance.
On the overall SX2 event podium, McElrath took the top step from Anstie and then came home hero Thompson in third.
Shane McElrath, Fire Power Honda, said: “It was a good race. I had a slow start to the night, but I regrouped and got the win in the next two. It was just about minimising mistakes but overall, it was a great night of racing. This has been a lot of fun, racing in front of a new crowd and now can’t wait for Perth.”
