We can reveal the plans for the Leok Brothers heading into the 2027 season, with the Estonian talents set to compete under a new team structure ran by their father, Tanel Leok.
Tanel is no stranger to running his own team, having previously ran the A1 Motorsport Husqvarna towards the end of his MXGP career in order to continue racing at the highest level. Now, he has once again decided to create his own structure, this time with the focus firmly on developing his sons, Sebastian and Travis.
The team will be known as PM Motorsport Husqvarna and will see both riders continue their progression within the Grand Pric paddock, albeit in different championships for the 2027 season.
Sebastian Leok makes MX2 World Championship move
After a break out 2026 season making big improvements, Sebastian Leok is set to make the step up to the MX2 World Championship for the 2027 season. Leok enjoyed a strong year in the EMX250 championship, finishing thirteenth in the final standings. Having gained valuable experience in the competitive EMX250 series, he will now take on the challenge of racing in the MX2 World Championship.
The Estonian is set to contest all of the MX2 GP’s that take place in Europe, giving him the opportunity to gain experience against some of the world’s best MX2 riders while continuing to develop under the PM Motorsport Husqvarna structure.
Travis Leok steps up to EMX250
Meanwhile, younger brother Travis Leok will also make an important step in his career as he moves up to the 250cc class full-time for the 2027 season. Travis will contest the EMX250 championship, continuing his development and gaining more experience within the Grand Prix paddock.
With Sebastian moving into MX2 and Travis taking on the EMX250 challenge, the Leok Brothers will both be competing on Husqvarna machinery under their father’s new team structure in 2027.
It will be an exciting new chapter for the Leok family as Tanel looks to use his experience in the sport to help guide his sons through the next stages of their careers.
Sebastian Leok (MX2 World Championship):
“The MX2 World Championship class will be a step up from this year, but I feel like I’m ready for the challenge and it’s the right time to move up. Also, a big thanks to Dad for putting everything together, I am really looking forward to 2027”.
Travis Leok (EMX250):
“My plan for 2027 is to race the EMX250 series and the ADAC. I’ve been injured since Gaildorf and won’t be able to ride until February, so my focus is getting fit for Riola Sardo. I’m not expecting much from the first races because I’ll have very little time on the bike. I know what I’m capable of after racing Lommel this year. My main focus is to make it through the season healthy”.
Tanel Leok (team owner):
“I will start up my own team again, PM Motorsport Husqvarna. I have good deals with my sponsors, and I wanted a team where a rider can develop and that there is a training programme and a system to be better rider in the future. Sebastian had offers, but in the end, we felt this was the best option and to be better in the future. Sebastian will race all MX2 World Championship rounds in Europe and Travis will move up to EMX250. They will also compete in the ADAC German championship”.
