Triumph Factory Racing has signed Guillem Farres to a three-year deal that promotes him from MX2 to the premier MXGP class in 2027, joining Mikkel Haarup as Triumph’s first official factory two-rider MXGP entry.
Guillem Farres signed a three-year contract to race in MXGP with Triumph Factory Racing beginning in 2027.
Farres leads the 2026 MX2 World Championship with five Grand Prix wins and remains focused on finishing the MX2 season while preparing for the 450 step up.
Camden McLellan stays with Triumph in MX2 for 2027, creating a three-rider program across MXGP and MX2.
# What happened
# Why it matters
# Where the team stands now Farres has been with Triumph since before the 2025 season and rose to regular frontrunner on the TF 250-X. In 2026 he recorded five Grand Prix victories and five additional overall podiums with five rounds still to go when the announcement was made. Triumph also secured strong season results overall, with Camden McLellan third in the 2026 MX2 standings at the time of the press release.
# The 2027 lineup and equipment
# What the riders said Farres described staying with Triumph as a priority and called the team like family. He said moving into MXGP is a dream and acknowledged the challenge of stepping up to the 450, noting he has already ridden the TF 450-X and is looking forward to working with it more. He emphasized trust in the team and the value of training alongside McLellan and Haarup.
Ian Kimber, Triumph's Head of Global Racing Programmes, framed the announcement as an important moment for Triumph Factory Racing. He praised the work done with the TF 250-X in MX2 over the past three seasons and highlighted Farres' role as an ambassador and contributor to the team culture.
# Immediate focus and schedule Before switching classes, Farres and McLellan remain focused on the remainder of the 2026 MX2 World Championship. The remaining rounds include Sweden, the Netherlands, Turkey, China, and Australia. Triumph's attention will shift to preparing the TF 450-X and the MXGP programme after the current season concludes.
