Spain's Guillem Farres, 23, has signed a three-year deal with Triumph Factory Racing and will lead the brand's first-ever MXGP factory effort starting in 2027. He currently tops the MX2 championship this season with five wins and five overall podiums, with five rounds left. Mikkel Haarup joins him on the TF 450-X in MXGP. "Being part of Triumph's first factory team in the MXGP class is a dream come true," Farres said.

The line from corner entry to exit doesn't really change whether it's motocross or tarmac — the fundamentals hold. Farres sitting top of MX2 with five wins and five podiums this season tells you the talent's real. Makes sense Triumph handed him their first-ever factory team. Carrying that kind of pressure at 23 is no joke, but from what I've seen trackside, the ones who are winning tend to enjoy exactly that pressure.

Carrying factory pressure at just 23 sounds brutal.

Never thought I'd see the day Triumph runs an MXGP factory team.

A 3-year deal plus Haarup joining on the TF450-X — that's a solid lineup they're building.

For the same money, wouldn't a KTM factory seat be the safer bet?

Is the TF450-X Triumph's new motocross bike then?

Farres already has 5 wins and 5 podiums in MX2 this season — Triumph's first factory rider is going to be huge.

2027 start? That's pretty far out, still two years away.
