A reference in Brazilian motorcycling, Honda Racing presented its official teams for the 2026 season, with the goal of defending titles across the sport’s main competitions. In Motocross, the team aims to repeat last year’s success, when it won everything in MX1GP Brasil, the Brazilian Motocross Championship (MX1 and MX2 titles), and Arena Cross (AXPro and AX2).
The official Motocross team continues with Belgian Jeremy Van Horebeek and gains a major reinforcement with Enzo Lopes in the MX1 category. In MX2, another new addition is Pietro Piroli. Reinaldo Almeida remains team manager for the fourth consecutive year.
The Rally team is made up of four Brazilian riders, starting with Bruno Crivilin, now in his second year in the discipline after showing great potential in 2025. Alexandre “Brankim” Valadares also continues with the team and will defend his Brasil category titles in the Sertões Rally and the Brazilian Rally Championship.
New additions include Luciano Rocha (three-time Brazilian Enduro champion) and Bárbara Neves (seven-time Brazilian Enduro champion), the first woman to join Honda Racing’s official Rally team. Dário Júlio Lopes remains team manager for the 13th year.
In Circuit Racing, Eric Granado will compete in the premier class of Moto1000 GP, the Brazilian championship, alongside teammate Kevin Fontainha. Team manager Reinaldo Campos completes 13 years with Honda Racing.
