A talented rider in the world of motocross and supercross, Anthony Bourdon quickly became one of the standout figures in both the French and American championships. His determination, experience, and racing instincts allowed him to shine in Paris as well as Anaheim. But the 2025 season took a harsh turn after a heavy training crash.
A career that led him to the top
Trained in France, Anthony Bourdon quickly stood out in the French motocross championship, securing several podiums and establishing himself in his category. He then joined the Kawasaki team, raced across the U.S., and discovered legendary American supercross tracks like Anaheim and Glendale.
In 2024, racing with BarX Racing and his Yamaha, he achieved strong results in the 250SX West Championship, flirting with the top 5 over several weekends. In Paris, during the Supercross, he confirmed his full potential against top riders like Tom Vialle and Herlings.
The February 2025 crash
While preparing for the rest of his season in the U.S., Anthony Bourdon suffered a violent crash during a training session. The result: a dislocated hip, a fractured pelvis, and a damaged vertebra.
Yet his Instagram post, shared just hours later, reflects a steely mindset: despite the premature end of his season, Anthony is determined to come back stronger. A mindset that mirrors his career, marked by challenges and comebacks.
