But the Canadian rounds not only became popular with the privateer riders. Each year we’ve seen more and more of America’s top factory superstars signing up to compete in the World Supercross GP series, and last year Team Kawasaki’s James Stewart scored his first major championship when he took the WSXGP crown from his arch rival, Ricky Carmichael.
Besides the two Canadian rounds, the Amp’d Mobile World SXGP series counts 15 of the 16 AMA races (Daytona is not included) for a total of 17 World SX rounds. But as we’ve seen in the past two seasons, the Canadian rounds play a significant role in the outcome of the championship as the past winners of these races went on to become World SX champ.

So with the new season already starting this weekend, and RC and Stewart knotted with two wins apiece in Canada, who will break the tie this weekend in Toronto? With RC racing a limited schedule, each and every race he does will be a “can’t miss” event.
