Monster Energy Triumph Factory Racing’s Camden McLellan has enjoyed a strong end to the season with sixth overall at the 2025 FIM Motocross of Nations. Competing in the MX2 class at Ironman Raceway in the USA, McLellan charged hard in both races to secure his impressive individual result. Close behind were two more TF 250-X racers with Mikkel Haarup seventh and Guillem Farres in eighth, putting three Triumph machines inside the top 10 overall – the most of any manufacturer. Alvin Östlund raced his TF 450-RC to 11th overall in the Open class, and helped Team Sweden to seventh in the Nations Classification.

Following his solid season of racing in the MX2 World Championship, McLellan was excited to end the season on a high. In both of his motos, he fought through the field from mid-pack starts to secure his 13-18 race results for sixth overall in MX2, which helped Team South Africa to 14th in the final standings.

Haarup returned to racing at the Motocross of Nations after missing the final two rounds of Pro Motocross due to injury. Racing for Team Denmark, Haarup delivered improving results across the two races with his 17th in moto one followed up by a 15th in the second race. On the day, Haarup finished seventh in MX2, with his team 20th overall.

Close behind Haarup in the MX2 classification was Farres, who raced the Nations for the first time on Triumph machinery and finished eighth overall. With experience of racing in the USA, the Spaniard acclimatised quickly and finished 16th in both motos. At the end of the weekend, Team Spain placed 10th in the Nations Classification.

For the first time ever, the Triumph TF 450-RC was raced at the Motocross of Nations with Alvin Östlund competing for Team Sweden. Östlund was consistent across both races to secure his 20-21 results for 11th overall in the Open class – a solid performance that helped his country to seventh in the Nations Classification.

With the dust now settled on the 78th edition of the FIM Motocross of Nations, all of Triumph’s teams and riders now look forward to the off-season following what’s been a positive year of racing around the world.

Camden McLellan – Team South Africa
“Overall, it’s been a solid day. My team was 14th overall and I finished sixth in MX2. I had a little tip over in the second moto while I was third, so that was a little frustrating. But anyway, there are a lot of positives to take away from here and overall, it’s been a strong season with the team.”

Guillem Farres – Team Spain
“It’s been a bit of a rough day for me. In the first moto I had a bad start and I was around 30th, and I pulled through to 16th. Race two started better but then I had a big crash. So, overall, it’s been a challenging day for Team Spain and myself. On the positive side, I’m healthy, and now the focus is on next year.”

Mikkel Haarup – Team Denmark
“For Sunday’s races I improved a lot from Saturday. It was tough against the 450s on the start, but I fought my way through quite well in both motos to finish inside the top 20 each time. I ended the weekend seventh overall, so that wasn’t too bad, and always, it was an honour to represent Team Denmark.”

Alvin Östlund – Team Sweden
“The Nations is over and it’s been a great day for Team Sweden. We finished seventh overall and my teammates rode really well. I had two good races as well and I really enjoyed the track – and the whole weekend – with the team.”

27 long laps of the 4.3km Mandalika International Circuit were accompanied by high temperatures, persistent sunshine and noise from an eager 67,900 race day attendance on Lombok. The fourth Grand Prix for the new venue began with Brad Binder starting from 15th on the gird.

Brad made a decent start and conjured a few strong moves to gain places in the critical early phases and then establish a race rhythm that would also extend tire life around the slick Indonesian asphalt.

Brad eventually carved his way through to 4th; two spots higher than his previous MotoGP best in 2025.

Japan, Indonesia and now a brief pause for MotoGP. The pace will crank up significantly with the trip to Phillip Island and the Australian Grand Prix in two weeks.

Brad Binder
4th and 11th in the championship standings:

“Much more happy with how today went. We made quite a big change in warm-up and straightaway I felt more confident with the front-end. I felt like I was turning better and it was more planted. I could push more. Happy to come through the field and better my starting position by a long way. Looking forward to see if we can try and keep this momentum rolling now. Happy also to be back in the fight.”

“Overall I’m happy with how the race went: it’s been a bit of a difficult weekend, we had two different rear tires and with the one everyone was using I seem to be really struggle with so we decided to go in there direction I felt better for the race and at the end I can say it was the correct decision. Starting 23rd is never easy and at the beginning of the race I wasn’t as fast as I would have liked, but toward the end of the race the pace was really good and I’m happy we scored some points. The feeling is improving, now let’s try carrying this momentum to Phillip Island!”

MotoGP sizzled around the curves of the Mandalika International Circuit for the second of back-to-back events on the 2025 calendar. Brad Binder rode through the Indonesian heat for the eighteenth Sprint of the season and was the only orange finisher at the Lombok venue.

The MotoGP paddock drifted west and south from Japan and filled the Mandalika International Circuit, one of the newest venues on the calendar. The 4.3km layout with 17 corners echoed to MotoGP engines for the fourth time and was hot, humid and tough for man, machine and rubber.

Brad worked his way up to P8 as the Sprint Race progressed. The South African had a close fight with four other riders and eventually crossed the line in P11 and was promoted to P10.

Brad Binder
15th in qualification, 10th in the Sprint:

“A really tricky weekend so far in general. I tried my best to recover some positions and had a great start but then as the tire started to drop I struggled more. We’ll try again tomorrow. The medium tire will be better for the long run. It should be pretty good. We just need to try and figure out how to make more time at this track by flowing a bit more.”

“In Q1 we made a good step forward from this morning, we managed to improve my best lap by quite a bit, but unfortunately it still wasn’t enough to get through to Q2. Anyway I feel we are a lot closer and the pace hasn’t been too bad this weekend. I’m looking forward to the race tomorrow, it is going to be a nice and long one: I’m pretty confident I will find my way to the points.”
