Malcolm Stewart back to defend his title
Top riders will compete during this high-calibre motocross event in Montreal next September. 2018 Supercross Montreal Champion, Malcolm Stewart, a Honda talented pilot, will make his big return on the scene at Olympic Stadium to defend his title. After a promising season start, Stewart suffered an injury that sidelined him for the remaining supercross season in the United States. This Montreal event, featuring 250- and 450---classraces, is a special edition that will kick off this season’s tour on top of the three regular events in the series. Points earned in Montreal will count toward overall series rankings. Battling it out in the 450 class will be four North American riders recruited by expert motocross consultant Eric Peronnard, as well as Triple Crown Series riders invited by Jetwerx.
“We’re stoked to announce that four big names are already confirmed as event headliners. In addition to Honda driver Malcolm Stewart three of the top US riders, Honda driver Christian Craig, Justin Brayton and Dean Wilson will compete on the Olympic Stadium race track,” said motocross event consultant Eric Peronnard.
