Why does it matter? It's been a done deal for months.  A picture of him next to a Red bike doesn't change anything.

GUILLEM FARRES JOINS ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA FACTORY RACING FOR 2024

THIRD 250 CLASS RIDER ADDED ALONGSIDE RJ HAMPSHIRE AND CASEY COCHRAN

image 57

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing has welcomed Guillem Farres for the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) season, joining RJ Hampshire and rookie Casey Cochran within the three-rider 250 Class program.

The 20-year-old Spaniard will be onboard the FC 250 leading into next year, committed to the AMA Supercross Championship, in addition to the AMA Pro Motocross Championship and SMX Finals Series.

Farres first arrived in U.S. competition during the late stages of the 2022 outdoor season, immediately displaying front-running potential with a series of top-10 results. He continued that trend in the opening part of the 2023 series and scored a top-five moto finish at the beginning of Pro Motocross, however, was unfortunately injured in round three and didn’t return to action.

An opportunity to join Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing is an exciting one for Farres, set to make his 250SX debut in 2024, before continuing to build upon his promise in 250MX, while training as part of the Baker’s Factory program in Florida.

“I am really happy to be joining the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team for this upcoming season,” Farres said. “I am also super-excited to start this new chapter of my career after a tough year due to injuries. Now, I am fully healed and ready to get on the new bike. I can’t wait to get started at the Baker’s Factory – it is an honor to be part of such a legendary program with Aldon [Baker] and all the guys.”

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team Manager, Nathan Ramsey, said that Farres has been on the team’s radar since his first appearance in AMA Pro Motocross and is confident that his capabilities will translate into strong results as experience continues to grow.

“Guillem caught our eye in 2022 when he came to the US for a couple of races,” explained Ramsey. “Then when he started the 2023 MX series, he once again showed signs of great speed and potential. He has a great attitude and work ethic, which I believe will lead to great things in the future. The sky is the limit for Guillem and we are happy to welcome him to the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team.”

i think someone mentioned it was coming to that point. Hes fast and can win but hasnt been putting it together enough to keep building with injuries. and now things are at a point where there is a lot of talent available and not a lot of seats.

wild to think only a year or two ago him and Jett battled for race wins. Now one is a 450 champ and the other is considering retiring.

I thought Mosiman was 100% going to be a championship contender this season.

hope things turn out okay for him regardless. 

maybe WSX to make some $$$

That makes sense as he could never string together more than 3-4 races…..

I believe the star didn't want to renew, as she ran few races in just 2 years

DANG! I’m not even a huge fan of Dylan Ferrandis…but you’d think at least one of the many “insiders” that hang around here would have some educated clue as to where he’ll be in 2024!

I don't understand why Ferrandis to Triumph hasn't happened yet. Two year deal with a third year option. Test and develop the bike the first year and then go racing in 2025.

For some reason i think that would be the perfect match for both Triumph and Ferrandis.

Can't Triumph race a 250 in the 450 class? At least for development purposes? Maybe a big-bore?
