Silly season continues to roll along and we have another announcement that dropped today.
Guillem Farres has inked a deal with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna to compete in the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship, which will include his debut in Monster Energy Supercross. He joins the returning RJ Hampshire and rookie Casey Cochran on the team for next year.
“I am really happy to be joining the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory 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 injuries. 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 legendary program with Aldon [Baker] and all the guys.”
The 20-year-old Spaniard was surprise fill-in at Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha late in the 2022 Pro Motocross Championship and quickly showed speed. He returned to the team for Pro Motocross this season but was injured at round 3 and missed the remainder of the season.
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team Manager, Nathan Ramsey, said that Farres has been on the team’s radar since his first appearance in AMA Pro Motocross and is confident that his capabilities will translate into strong results as experience continues to grow.
“Guillem caught our eye in 2022 when he came to the US for a couple of races,” explained 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, which I believe will lead to great things in the future. The sky is the limit for Guillem and we are happy to welcome him to the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team.”
