Chambers Racing have officially confirmed their rider roster for the 2026 season, with a blend of returning talent and fresh faces set to represent the British-based outfit across MXGP, MX2, EMX125 and domestic championships.

Adam Sterry remains with the team for another year after producing some encouraging performances in the MXGP World Championship throughout 2025. The experienced Brit will again focus on both the MXGP series and the British Championship, aiming to build on this year’s progress and push for stronger results in 2026.

Ollie Colmer will also stay under the Chambers Racing awning but makes a significant step in his career. After competing in the EMX250 series, Colmer will graduate to the MX2 World Championship next season. Like Sterry, he will take on the European rounds of the series as he looks to establish himself at the next level.

The team has also added a new signing for 2026 with the arrival of Hayden Statt. Following his rookie season in EMX125 as a privateer, Statt has earned his opportunity with Chambers Racing and will switch from Yamaha machinery to KTM as he prepares for the next phase of his development.

On the domestic front, the team will once again field a strong line-up. Glenn McCormick, after a standout 2025 season, extends his long relationship with the squad into a sixth year. He will continue to focus on the MX2 British Championship as he looks to maintain his momentum.

Rounding out the line-up is Dan Thornhill, who stays with the team in MX1 after an impressive 2025 campaign that saw him secure sixth in the British Championship. He’ll be looking to build on that strong form as the new season approaches.

The team have also decided to have a supported rider for the 2026 season – Harvey Cashmore who previously raced for the team between 2021 and 2024, Cashmore will receive support from the Chambers Racing team in 2026 and will contest the MX2 British Championship in 2026.

With experience, youth and progression throughout the roster, Chambers Racing head into 2026 with a strong and balanced squad ready to take on both world and domestic challenges.

Tim Chambers (owner): I am so proud to be running a true British team full of homegrown talent. I’ve been out of the frame for last few months, but we’re back with a bang heading into the 2026 season.

Adam Sterry: I am really happy to be staying with Chambers Racing for 2026. It’s a great group of people which made last year a really fun year for me. I felt like I improved a lot last year and I’m looking forward to carry on where we left off with improvements from myself and the bike. I’m already back on the bike with Marc de Reuver getting ready for the start of the season. A big thanks to Tim for putting his trust in me again – I’ll try to deliver him the results he deserves in 2026.

Ollie Colmer: For the 2026 season, I will continue with Chambers Racing KTM – I am very proud to represent the team again and very thankful for everybody involved at the team for believing in me once again. I’ll be stepping up to the MX2 World Championship, myself and the team discussed this and that MX2 is the best option for me. We all believe that racing MX2 will be very beneficial as there are more races, more bike time and we can bring the experience from the faster boys back to the UK to race the British championship and hopefully contend for the title.

Hayden Statt: It’s a great opportunity to sign with Chambers Racing. I believe it will shape a great future for me ahead. I’m feeling the best I’ve felt and really ready for the 2026 season. My goal is to win the ACU 125cc British Championship and potentially fight for EMX125 podiums as I will be competing in the full series. As always I’ll push to be the best I can be and hopefully even win one or two races.

Glenn McCormick: There wasn’t too much of a decision to make, you could say. As soon as Tim mentioned 2026 and if I would still be there, the answer was a pretty simple yes. I’ve spent five years with Tim and heading into my sixth season after a good 2025, for me it was important to keep things as they were and try to be better again next season. Not only for myself but also Tim as he give so much not only to us guys but the sport so it would be nice to make a jump again and be up the front battling closer. For 2026 the MX2 British championship is my main focus but I would like to maybe do something different in between rounds but we will just see how all goes and where we are at come March.

Dan Thornhill: The decision for me to stay on board with Chambers Racing for another season was an easy one. I’ve always achieved my best in a family environment and that’s how my relationship with Tim and the team is. Tim has supported me the last few years and always has my back, he supports me in any path I take and I’m truly grateful for this. I honestly thought my career would have slowed up by now, but with the team and my family behind me, the fire is still strong. After finishing sixth in the British Championship this year, I don’t feel I’m ready to slow up just yet.

Harvey Cashmore: I’m super excited to be back representing Chambers KTM Racing Team for 2026, it feels like I’m back at home. A big thanks to Tim Chambers for giving me support again.
