The upcoming ISRL Season 3 Auction is already generating massive excitement among motorsport fans as two of the league’s biggest international stars — Jordi Tixier and Anthony Bourdon — officially confirm their participation for the third season of the Indian Supercross Racing League.
The return of the French duo adds more intensity to what is expected to become the biggest and most competitive season in ISRL history.
Jordi Tixier Returns With Unfinished Business in ISRL
Former MX2 World Champion Jordi Tixier has been one of the most recognizable riders in the league since the inaugural season. Known for his aggressive riding style, consistency, and blistering pace, Tixier has regularly produced some of the fastest laps in the competition.
However, despite several standout performances across the first two editions, the ISRL title has remained just out of reach.
Loading ...Speaking about his comeback for the ISRL Season 3 Auction, Tixier said:
“Every time I’ve raced in India, the experience has been incredible. The fans, the energy, the atmosphere – it’s different. But honestly, I’m coming back because I still feel there’s unfinished business for me in ISRL.”
His return signals that he is fully focused on finally lifting the ISRL championship trophy in Season 3.
Anthony Bourdon Ready for Another Dominant Season
While Jordi Tixier has been a consistent title contender, Anthony Bourdon emerged as one of the biggest stars of Season 2.
Bourdon finished second overall in the standings and became one of the most dangerous riders on the grid after securing a dominant double victory in Hyderabad. His fearless riding and adaptability on Indian tracks quickly made him a fan favorite.
The French rider believes the competition will become even tougher this season.
“Season 2 was one of my favorite racing experiences. The level of competition surprised a lot of people globally. Hyderabad was definitely a big moment for me, but Season 3 is going to be even tougher.”
BB Racing Faces a Tough Decision Ahead of ISRL Season 3 Auction
Last season, both Tixier and Bourdon represented BB Racing and formed one of the strongest rider combinations in the championship.
With the ISRL Season 3 Auction approaching, one of the biggest questions remains:
- Will BB Racing retain both riders?
- Can rival teams break up this powerful pairing?
- Will the bidding war create new rivalries for Season 3?
The auction is expected to become one of the most closely followed motorsport events in India as franchises look to strengthen their squads with international talent.
ISRL Becoming a Global Motorsport Platform
ISRL Co-Founder Eeshan Lokhande highlighted how returning international riders reflect the rapid global growth of the championship.
According to him, ISRL is no longer just an emerging Indian racing league — it is now becoming a serious global Supercross platform that attracts elite riders season after season.
Season 2 witnessed:
- Riders from multiple countries
- More than 55,000 live spectators
- Over 14 million broadcast viewers across race weekends
These numbers clearly show the growing popularity of Supercross racing in India.

ISRL Hyderabad Round Became a Major Highlight
The Hyderabad round during Season 2 played a huge role in elevating the league’s popularity. Anthony Bourdon’s dominant performance there remains one of the most talked-about moments in ISRL history.
The league also gained mainstream attention after Bollywood superstar Salman Khan attended the event as part of ISRL’s promotional activities.
