He is widely recognized for his technical expertise and long-standing partnership with Thierry Chizat-Suzzoni, with whom he has achieved over 80 MXGP World Championship victories.

Obviously, this 2026 MX2 season has brought Triumph right to the front of the world championship scene, with both their riders, Guillem Farres and Camden McLellan showing huge improvement.

The fact McLellan has won a GP, taking the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago, and Farres has been on the podium and won motos, just shows the effort the team and riders have put into the 2026 season. Below is what Bereni has thought of the season after three rounds.

Switzerland Mud and Rain

“It was another big weekend for us, and it was great to be in the position of leading the championship with Camden coming in. Unfortunately, he had a difficult first moto with a poor start and then a heavy crash in the second race, but the most important thing is that he’s OK. We lost some points, but it’s still very early in the season, and there’s plenty of time to recover. On the positive side, Guillem responded really well after Spain with another podium and a race win, which shows the strength and consistency of the team. Both riders have been performing at a high level, and as a group, we’re doing a great job. Now the focus is on bringing everything together consistently with both riders so we can continue to fight at the front as the season progresses.”

Round Two in Spain - Victory

“It’s been another strong weekend for the team, with the riders once again showing excellent speed, which is really the result of the hard work and dedication put in over the winter. Of course, there are mixed emotions. I feel very sorry for Guillem, as I believe we had the potential for a double podium, but a technical issue cost us that result. At the same time, achieving our first Grand Prix win as a manufacturer and taking the red plate is a huge milestone for Triumph. To be leading the MX2 World Championship at this stage is something everyone in the team can be proud of. However, it’s only the second round, so we need to stay grounded, keep working hard, and continue improving in the areas where we know we can be better.”

Round One in Argentina - Podium

“Quite a good start for the team, for Triumph, and the riders. We changed quite a lot of things this winter as a team with the riders and the equipment. There were a few things that we studied last year, and this has helped us to make the bike even better. So overall, this weekend was quite positive. We came down to being a few points away from leading the championship, but that's the only negative from the weekend. But, the double podium, that’s some more history for Triumph so it’s been a great weekend overall.”

Coming Into the Season

“It's been months of work for the crew and the riders, and now we’re finally on our way to round one. In my opinion, both riders have improved a lot, both on and off the bike. They’ve ticked all the boxes we set during the off-season and made real progress. As a team, it’s a great feeling when you see everything starting to come together and the progress being made. But ultimately, only racing at the highest level will tell us exactly where we stand. We made some changes during the off-season and worked to reset and improve in areas where we knew we needed to be better. I feel like we’re more connected now, and overall, the team, crew, and riders have all taken a good step forward. We’re not the newcomers anymore, so naturally expectations are higher. We decided not to line up at any pre-season races, as we now have plenty of data and understand the bikes and riders much better. Spending more time focused on improving the bike was the main priority, and I believe we’ve made a good step forward with the 2026 race bike. I’m sure the competition has worked just as hard, and that’s what makes racing exciting.”
