Sebastian Leok, the eldest son of Tanel Leok, will make his FIM Motocross World Championship debut in MX2 during the 2027 season. Meanwhile, his younger brother, Travis, will also take an important step in his career by moving up to the EMX250 European Championship. Both Estonian riders will compete under their family’s own structure, PM Motorsport Husqvarna, managed by their father.
Sebastian Leok (featured image) will make the move to the MX2 World Championship after gaining valuable experience in EMX250, where he achieved several positive results throughout the season. Following that experience, the Estonian feels ready to take on the next level. His programme will include every European round of the FIM Motocross World Championship.
“Moving up to the MX2 World Championship will be a big step compared to this year, but I feel ready for the challenge and believe this is the right time to make the move. I would also like to give a big thank you to my father for putting everything together. I am really looking forward to 2027!”
Meanwhile, Travis Leok will also take a significant step in his career, moving up to the 250cc class full-time for the first time. He will contest the EMX250 European Championship, continuing his development and gaining further experience in the Grand Prix paddock. Like his older brother, he will also compete in the German ADAC Championship.
“My plan for 2027 is to race in EMX250 and the ADAC series. I have been injured since Gaildorf and won’t be able to ride again until February, so my goal is to get fit for Riola Sardo. I don’t expect too much from the first races because I will have very little time to train. I know what I am capable of after racing at Lommel this year. My main goal is to finish the season healthy.”
Team owner Tanel Leok outlined his plans for the upcoming season:
“I will be putting my own team, PM Motorsport Husqvarna, back together. I have good agreements with my sponsors and wanted to build a structure where a rider could develop, with a training programme and a system in place to help them improve in the future.
Sebastian received some offers, but in the end, we felt this was the best option for his future. Sebastian will compete in every European round of the MX2 World Championship, while Travis will move up to EMX250. Both riders will also compete in the German ADAC Championship.”
