Indian Supercross Racing League Season 3 Attracts 146 Riders From 21 Countries

The Indian Supercross Racing League (ISRL) has closed rider registrations for its third season, with 146 riders from 21 countries signing up across its four racing categories. The international participation further strengthens the league’s position as an emerging platform for Supercross competition in India.

France leads the international registrations with 32 riders, followed by Australia with 20 and the United States with 18. Riders from countries including Indonesia, Thailand, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Canada, South Africa, Sweden, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and Mongolia have also registered.

Four Racing Categories

The Season 3 grid includes 40 riders in the 450cc International category and 54 riders in the 250cc International category. The 250cc India Asia Mix category has 26 registrations, while the newly introduced Indian Futures category provides a dedicated platform for Indian riders.

India has recorded 30 rider registrations across the Indian Futures and 250cc India Asia Mix categories. The Indian Futures category is designed to give domestic riders greater exposure and a structured pathway to compete at the professional level.

International And Indian Talent

The 450cc International category features several established names, including Matt Moss, Jordi Tixier, John Short, Anthony Bourdon, Gregory Aranda, Ryan Breece, Luke Clout and Anthony Rodriguez.

The 250cc International category includes riders such as Reid Taylor, Calvin Fonvieille, Justin Rodbell and Nico Koch, while the India Asia Mix category features Witsarut Salangam, Thanarat Penjan, Athison Ruadreo, Nakami Vidi Makarim, Ben Hallgren and Muhammad Athar Alghifari.

India will be represented by riders including Rugved Barguje, Prajwal Vishwanath, Shlok Ghorpade and Ikshan Shanbhag.

With registrations now closed, the next major step for ISRL Season 3 is the rider auction. The participating franchises will select their riders from the registered pool, finalising their squads for the upcoming season.

Season 3 will build on the league's first two seasons, bringing together international Supercross riders and Indian talent as the championship continues to expand its presence in the country.
