Guillem Farres Impresses in Turkiye with Fourth Overall

Triumph Camden McLellan at MXGP Round 18
Racing Triumph Motorcycles 8th Sep 2025

Monster Energy Triumph Factory Racing’s Guillem Farres has delivered a strong weekend of racing at the MXGP of Turkiye, where the Spanish racer claimed an impressive fourth overall. Farres placed sixth in race one and led moto two before crossing the finish line in third. Camden McLellan also enjoyed a solid weekend at the 18th round of the series, placing seventh overall despite a crash in race two.

Two weeks on from the deep sand of the Netherlands, the team travelled to Afyonkarahisar and a return to hardpack conditions. Both riders excelled on the fast and rutted racetrack, with Farres placing third in the qualifying race ahead of McLellan in fourth.

Farres carried his speed from Saturday into Sunday’s Grand Prix races. Starting up front aboard his TF 250-X in the opening moto, the 22-year-old held fourth until the final lap when he frustratingly lost two positions.

Fired up for redemption in race two, Farres executed an even better start and moved into the lead on the opening lap. Guillem then led the way until near half distance when he relinquished first place to series leader Simon Langenfelder. Six laps later, defending MX2 World Champion Kay de Wolf pushed Farres back to third. Despite this, he didn’t lose too much ground to the leading duo and held his position to the finish. Following two strong rides, Guillem placed fourth overall and in doing so, moves up to eighth in the championship.

Throughout race one, McLellan formed part of a five-rider battle for fourth place. As the race ended, all five riders were separated by just three seconds, with Camden finishing seventh. In the second moto, the South African capitalised on his much-improved start and held third early on. However, a minor mistake on lap two resulted in a crash. After the incident, McLellan mounted a determined charge through the field and ultimately finished eighth, earning seventh overall. With two rounds to go, the 21-year-old remains sixth in the series standings.

The 2025 MX2 World Championship now heads to China for the 19th and penultimate round of the campaign next weekend. Then, the series concludes with the MXGP of Australia on September 20-21.

Guillem Farres

“The weekend in Turkiye is done and it’s been a pretty successful GP. I had a good feeling on the track and finished third in the qualifying race, so that was a great start to the weekend. My first race was a little disappointing though. I was running fourth until the final lap and lost two places, so I ended up sixth. My start in the second moto was really good and I took the lead on the first lap. I led the race for 10-15 minutes and then Simon and Kay passed me. It was a shame to just miss the podium today, but I showed good speed and led some laps, so I’m leaving here happy and confident for the next two rounds.”

Camden McLellan

“That’s Turkiye wrapped up. Not the best weekend for me. I felt good on the track all weekend, especially Saturday, but didn’t quite bring the same speed to Sunday’s races. I fell in the second moto and after that I lost my flow, so it was a tough one, but we’re leaving here feeling good and ready for the next GP.”

Tom Booth-amos Returns to The Podium at Magny-cours

The World Supersport Championship returned to action this weekend after its summer break with Round 9 taking place at Magny-Cours in France, where the PTR Triumph team were left celebrating after Tom Booth-Amos returned to the podium in today’s Race 2 aboard the Triumph Street Triple 765.
Daniel Holgado took his maiden Moto2™ victory today at the Grand Prix of Catalonia in a decisive lights-to-flag victory from pole position. The Moto3 graduate had already climbed onto the podium at the Austrian Grand Prix, but this weekend went one better. Using his Triumph 765cc triple power to the absolute maximum around the fast and flowing 4.66km Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya, Holgado took pole position by just 0.08seconds from Jake Dixon, but his race was a different story. Resisting pressure early on, he soon established a pace no one could match as they became embroiled in their own battles and scampered clear to win by a margin of 2.5seconds. Jake Dixon fought long and hard to secure second position at the flag, and Daniel Muñoz hauled himself from sixth on the grid to take the final step of the podium - his first Moto2 podium - just 0.6seconds adrift. Manuel Gonzalez was the most notable climber, ascending from 12th on the grid to finish fourth. Meanwhile, championship contender Aron Canet crashed out of the race and Diogo Moreira was unable to replicate his recent form and came home 14th. That means that at the front of the championship standings, Manuel Gonzalez has extended his lead to 217 points, ahead of Canet on 179, 38 points adrift, and Moreira on 175. Holgado has climbed to seventh overall. Holgado’s victory means that there have been two rookie winners in the last two races now, with David Alonso taking his maiden Triumph-powered Moto2 win in Hungary. There’s no rest for the Moto2 field as they head straight to San Marino, Italy, for round 16 on 12-14 September, before embarking on the overseas leg as the season starts to near its crescendo. --- Triumph Triple Trophy Shortlist: 1. Daniel Holgado - for achieving his maiden Moto2 victory and in such dominant fashion 2. Manuel Gonzalez - for climbing from 12th to 4th to extend his championship lead 3. Jake Dixon - for a determined ride to hold onto second position Look out for Instagram stories on MotoGP’s official account @motogp to vote for your favourite rider and enter the prize draw here, to win your own Triumph Triple Trophy Street Triple 765 RS. --- Next round: Round 16, Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, Italy, 12-14 September 2025
