McLellan and Triumph - New Deal

  • News

Triumph Factory Racing is excited to announce a two-year contract extension for Camden McLellan. The renewed agreement will see the talented rider continue racing for the British manufacturer through to the end of 2027, competing in the FIM MX2 World Championship class aboard the race-winning TF 250-X.

Since joining the Monster Energy Triumph Factory Racing team for the 2024 season, Camden’s career has been on an upward trajectory. A maiden overall podium result of third was secured at round three in Sardinia, and even though he missed six Grands Prix due to injury, he ended a positive first season with the team ranked ninth in the MX2 World Championship.

Camden’s impressive progression has continued into the current campaign. Another overall podium result was secured in Sardinia, where he finished as runner-up, and one week later he claimed his first-ever moto win in Italy. McLellan stepped onto the rostrum again at arguably the toughest race of the season – the deep sand track of Lommel in Belgium – where he placed second overall. With four rounds remaining in 2025, McLellan lies sixth in the championship standings.

With his future set for the next two years, Camden can fully focus on continuing to climb the ranks of the MX2 class. The likeable South African – who will move out of the division at the end of 2027 due to the maximum age limit of 23 – will enter the 2026 season with one clear goal in mind: to become MX2 World Champion.

Camden McLellan

“It’s a real honour for me to continue with Triumph Factory Racing. We’ve had two solid seasons already, and I’m feeling super grateful that they wanted me to be a part of the team for another two years. We’ve learned a lot together, and we have a solid foundation to build upon going forwards. Myself and everyone on the Monster Energy Triumph Factory Racing team has worked really hard to get to where we are, and I’m surrounded by a great bunch of people focused on securing a world title. That’s the ultimate goal, and I’m super excited for the future. For now, though, I’m looking forward to ending this season on a high by putting myself on the podium as much as possible. Thanks again to the team for believing in me – it’s great to continue with what we’ve started, and I really think that the sky is the limit!”

Vincent Bereni – Monster Energy Triumph Factory Racing Team Manager

“On behalf of the whole team, I’m really pleased that we can continue working with Camden for the next two years. We really believe in his talent, he’s a hard worker, and I know that the best is yet to come for him. We’ve already achieved a lot together, and we’ll keep working hard to make sure that we can continue challenging for podiums, race wins, and ultimately an MX2 world title. We still have a few rounds remaining this year, and then we’ll have a little break before preparation begins for 2026.”

Ian Kimber – Head of Global Racing Programmes, Triumph Motorcycles
“We’re very pleased that Camden will be continuing with Triumph Factory Racing for the next two years and are excited to see what we can achieve together. Camden has been with us from the start of our entry in the MX2 World Championship, and having him in the team is important for the continuity of our ever-developing race programme. He has grown as a racer over these past seasons under the guidance of Thierry, Vince and Clement, and we know that, together with the work done by the team and back at base in Triumph, we have a lot of potential for the future.”
