Triumph Factory Racing’s Guillem Farres has been crowned the 2026 FIM MX2 Motocross World Champion after placing second in the opening moto at the MXGP of Australia, the final round of the series. The Spaniard captured his first world title while at the same time also securing Triumph’s first ever FIM motocross world title. With Farres’ teammate Camden McLellan finishing the season as runner-up in the MX2 title race, the duo’s impressive season-long results underlined the performance of the TF 250-X. Rounding out a history-making year for the team and brand, Triumph won the MX2 Manufacturers Championship in just its third year of competing in MX2.

 

The 2026 FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship has undoubtedly been a huge success for Triumph. The season started with both riders on the podium in Argentina, with Farres and McLellan winning 11 of 19 Grands Prix throughout the year.

 

Since taking control of the championship after winning Triumph’s home Grand Prix – the MXGP of Great Britain in July – Farres never relinquished the series lead. Across his championship-winning season, the 23-year-old won 14 motos and six rounds including a mid-season run of four consecutive GP wins during the summer. Together with six further overall podium results, Farres ended the season with a 36-point lead over McLellan.

 

McLellan also impressed throughout the campaign and he led the championship early in the season after winning round two in Spain. As the series progressed, the South African continued to perform and won five Grands Prix in total, including back-to-back wins at the final two rounds in China and Australia. Besides his victories, McLellan landed on the overall podium eight times to highlight his career-best season in MX2 and he will start the 2027 season as a title favourite with Farres moving up to the premier MXGP class with the team next year.

 

With an exceptional season complete, the whole team will now return to Europe and enjoy a day of celebration at Triumph’s headquarters in Hinckley, England. Attention will then turn to the FIM Motocross of Nations where Farres will represent Team Spain with McLellan lining up for South Africa.
