Malcolm Stewart has been confirmed out of the 2026 Paris Supercross, meaning he will not return to the Paris La Défense Arena on November 21–22 to defend his King of Paris crown.

Reports indicate his absence is heavily tied to his upcoming transition to the Monster Energy Kawasaki factory team for the 2027 season. While Kawasaki USA was initially open to letting him compete in Europe, logistical challenges—specifically the late arrival of his new race bike—ultimately caused the plans to fall through.

The Paris line-up is still strong, although with Lucas Coenen still recovering from his injury, you have to wonder if he competes, while brother Sasha will be an interesting entry. Also Ken Roczen and many more are racing Paris this year.
