Suzuki Motor USA and Pipes Motorsports Group confirmed the extension October 29, keeping Roczen with the organization for a fifth consecutive season. Roczen will enter the 2027 SuperMotocross World Championship carrying the No. 1 championship plate for the first time in his career. The decision comes after Roczen finally captured the 450SX championship that had eluded him throughout his premier-class career. The German-born rider won five main events during the 2026 season and finished inside the top five in 14 of 17 rounds, collecting 12 podium finishes on his way to the championship.\r\n\r\nThe 2027 season will mark Roczen's fifth consecutive year with the Pipes Motorsports Group Suzuki operation after joining the program in 2023. During that stretch, he has become the centerpiece of Suzuki's return to championship contention, culminating with the team's first 450SX championship since 2010.\r\n\r\n\u201cKen has been an integral part of our racing efforts, and we\u2019re pleased to continue this relationship,\u201d said Chris Wheeler, Motorsports Manager at Suzuki Motor USA. \u201cKen\u2019s elite-level performance, professionalism, and dedication have driven the success we\u2019ve achieved together.\u201d Pipes Motorsports Group Team Principal Dustin Pipes said the team was eager to keep Roczen in Suzuki yellow following its championship-winning season. \u201cComing off the high of our Supercross Championship this past season, we were eager to extend the partnership and keep him in Suzuki yellow for the foreseeable future,\u201d Pipes said.\r\n\r\nRoczen will make his first official title defense January 9 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, when the 2027 SuperMotocross season gets underway.\r\n\r\n ","excerpt":"

Chase Sexton\u2019s short-lived run with Monster Energy Kawasaki is officially over. Kawasaki and Sexton have mutually agreed to part ways effective October 23, 2026, abruptly ending what was originally announced as a three-year partnership after just one season. The split brings another major shakeup to an already chaotic 2027 Supercross silly season, with Sexton now searching for his fourth factory home in five seasons.<\/p>\r\nSexton joined Kawasaki for the 2026 season after leaving Red Bull KTM, arriving with championship credentials after winning the 2023 450SX title with Honda and the 2024 450MX championship with KTM. Expectations were high, but the Kawasaki partnership never developed into the title-contending combination many expected.\r\n\r\nSexton finished sixth in the 2026 450SX championship after a season that included crashes, injuries and only three podium finishes. His outdoor campaign was cut short following a heavy crash at Thunder Valley that resulted in a torn ACL, ending his Pro Motocross season and keeping him out of the SMX Playoffs.\r\n\r\nNeither Kawasaki nor Sexton publicly detailed the reason for ending the agreement early. Kawasaki released a brief statement confirming the mutual decision and pointed to Sexton\u2019s two Supercross victories during the 2026 season while wishing him well for 2027. Sexton also thanked Kawasaki and the team personnel for their efforts.\r\n\r\n\u201cJust want to say thank you @racekawasaki,\u201d Sexton said on social media. \u201cVery appreciative for all the effort by every person involved and I wish the team and all the staff the best going forward. See you at the races!\u201d\r\n\r\nNow the biggest question is where Sexton goes next. With the 2027 Monster Energy Supercross opener at Anaheim approaching, Sexton becomes one of the biggest names still on the board. Yamaha, Honda, KTM and other potential destinations have been discussed in the rumor mill, but no new deal has been announced.","excerpt":"

His strongest championship seasons came in 2023 and 2024, when Plessinger finished third in the 450 Pro Motocross standings in consecutive years. He also enjoyed his breakthrough 450SX victory at San Diego in 2024, taking the championship points lead with the win.
