2027 National Numbers

THESE ARE PROJECTIONS AND WILL CHANGE CAUSE (A) COLE DAVIES, JORGE PRADO, AND RYDER DIFRANCESCO HAVE TO SELECT A CAREER NUMBER – WE’VE REACHED OUT TO EACH, (B) J-MART, CHIZ, AND VIALLE CAN PETITION TO KEEP THEIR CAREER NUMBERS, (C) RIDERS GET INJURED (THEY WILL UNFORTUNATELY) AND/OR (D) RIDERS WILL HAVE FINISHES OUTSIDE THEIR NORM. THIS WILL BE UPDATED WEEKLY AND FINALIZED AFTER IRONMAN.

Welcome to our favorite feature of the year, one that riders hit us up for about this time, when Pro Motocross takes a breather and it’s possible to get an accurate prediction on next year’s riding numbers.

Before you scroll further, we’re not the AMA but we’ve studied the rulebook and have applied the rules as stated. Here’s what sticks out for us…

  • Cole Davies, Jorge Prado, and Ryder Difrancesco are all in position to earn a career number based on scoring enough combined SX + MX points to be top 10 (and Davies has 1 title and in the hunt for another). Note it’s possible that Cole Davies could select a single digit number IF he wins the 250MX title.
    • Cole Davies selection is tough to predict. He raced #17 prior to the pros but that’s Savatgy’s career number. We’ve got him slotted into #10 for now. His selection will literally impact everyone!
    • We expect Ryder Difrancesco to go #23.
    • We expect Jorge Prado to go #61.
  • Jeremy Martin (#6), Kyle Chisholm (#11), and Tom Vialle (#16) have all scored 0 points (less than the 25 points required) this year and must submit a written petition to keep their career numbers. We’re expecting Martin and Vialle to not petition. We’re waiting to hear back from Chiz.

More Key Movements
  • It’s possible that Chance Hymas could have #10 once again. He held the number in 2025. Cole Davies selection is pivotal here.
  • Similarly, Julien Beaumer could end up with #13 again IF Cole Davies selects something other than #10.
  • Kayden Minear currently sits on #22 – he could be the first Aussie since Chad Reed to hold that coveted number.
  • Nick Romano will return to the ranks of double digits after running #141 last year. Same goes for Pierce Brown and Cameron McAdoo.
  • The Coenen brothers will both have double digit numbers in their debut season stateside. Sacha around #67 and Lucas #80. I fully expect these to change but will be in the vicinity.
  • Ty Masterpool drops from #44 to outside the top 99.

Defending 2026 Champions

  • Ken Roczen will run #1 in 450 Supercross
  • Haiden Deegan could run #1 in 250 West Supercross (but he’ll be racing 450SX)
  • Cole Davies can run #1 in 250 East Supercross.
  • TBD 250MX.
  • TBD 450MX.

First Time Double Digit Numbers

In 2024 there were 15 riders that earned their first double digit. Last year it was 13. This year it’s likely to be in the same ballpark.

  • 2027 First Time Double Digit Numbers: Hamden Hudson (#188), Carson Wood (#226), Stephen Rubini (#106), Crockett Myers (#131), Cornelius Tondel (#417), Landen Gordon (#180), Deacon Denno (#199), Sacha Coenen (#109), Lucas Coenen (#108), Dante Oliveria (#563), Roan van de Moosdijk (#939), Francisco Garcia (#290), Landon Hartz (#483)
  • 2026 First Time Double Digit Numbers: Mikkel Harrup (#107), Cole Davies (#100), Parker Ross (#302), Valentin Guillod (#992), Benoit Paturel (#102), Avery Long (#134), Jack Chambers (#192), Gavin Towers (#115), Caden Dudney (#400), Enzo Temmerman (#201), Izaih Clark (#682), Alexander Fedortsov (#784), Brad West (#334)

Double Digit Again

  • 2027: Nick Romano, Joshua Varize, Pierce Brown, Cameron McAdoo, Vince Friese, Kyle Peters, Mathias Jorgensen
  • 2026: Enzo Lopes, Lance Kobusch, Kevin Moranz, Dylan Walsh, Justin Rodbell, Luke Neese, and John Short return to double digit numbers for 2026.

Now, if you’re like us, you need an annual refresher on how this all works. Here’s the scoop, found on page 56 under 2.4.14 COMPETITION NUMBERS of the 2026 AMA Supercross Rulebook.

  • #1-99 are reserved for riders who’ve earned the most points in the previous season, but before double digit numbers are tabulated.
  • Riders who finish in the top 10 in Championship points from the combined 450SX, 250SX, 450MX and 250MX classes from the previous competition year will have priority for the selection of a National two-digit available number for their career number.

  • After the top 10 in championship points have selected, the class champions from the 250SX Eastern and Western Regional Divisions may select a National two digit available number for their career number.
  • Only past 450SX, 450MX and 250MX Champions from the previous competition year may choose a permanent single-digit career number, if available.
  • Riders who fail to earn at least 25 championship points during the season preceding the new season will lose their career number and be issued a new number based on current points. Riders may appeal one season.
  • Ties are decided by (1) raced both SX and MX or (2) best main or moto finish (until it’s broken).

Remember, we’re not the AMA and therefore not the official source (but we did have it correct last year and available many weeks earlier).
