P62 FEATURE I 2026 SUPERCROSS PREVIEW PIPES MOTORSPORTS SUZUKI Pipes Motorsports Suzuki brings a three- rider card to the 450SX field with Ken Roczen (94), Jason Anderson (21), and Colt Nichols (45). Roczen won the Daytona Supercross in 2025 and is still searching for that elusive SX championship. Anderson joins the Suzuki fold for '26 and already looks comfortable on the RMZ as he added a WSX title to his name during the off-season. No change can be good. Ken Roczen is back with the PMG Suzuki Team for '26. Austin Forkner will make Triumph's factory 450 debut at Anaheim 1. TRIUMPH FACTORY RACING Triumph Factory Racing is set to make its 450 debut in Anaheim. Jordon Smith (20) bumps up to the 450 class for 2026, but a shoulder injury at the SMX finale will keep him off the bike until round seven. The team has since tapped Austin Forkner (33) to race "at least the first six rounds" on the 450 before likely dropping down to the 250SX Eastern Championship at round seven.
