Farres For Husqvarna T he Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Team signed Guillem Farres to its 250cc MX squad for the 2024 Super- cross, Motocross and SuperMotocross Championships. The 20-year-old Span- iard, who is moving over from the Mon- ster Energy Star Racing Yamaha squad, will compete alongside teammates RJ Hampshire and Casey Cochran. Farres first arrived in U.S. compe - tition during the late stages of the 2022 outdoor season, immediately displaying front-running potential with a series of top-10 results. He contin - ued that trend in the opening part of the 2023 series and scored a top-five moto finish at the beginning of Pro Motocross. However, he was injured in round three and didn't return to action. "I am really happy to be joining the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Fac - tory 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 inju - ries. 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 legend- ary program with Aldon [Baker] and all the guys." Team Manager Nathan Ramsey said that Farres has been on the team's radar since his first appearance in AMA Pro Motocross in 2022 and is confident that his capabilities will translate into strong results as experi - ence continues to grow. "Guillem caught our eye in 2022 when he came to the U.S. for a couple of races," said 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." CN WIND IN THE P32 Spaniard Guillem Farres joins Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Motocross team.
