EA completely new adventure awaits Valentin Teillet's Team 737 Performance this 2026 season. The Frenchman returns to the EMX125 class thanks to the support of KTM and the French Federation.
It is no surprise that the French team can perform at this level.
In 2023, 737 Performance already finished second in the European Championship EMX125 with none other than Mathis Valin, who also won the 125cc world title that same year on the team's GASGAS. Also Sleny Goyer (65cc Jr. Vice World Champion in 2021), Tim Lopes (silver in EMX85 in 2023) and Timothy Cez (Junior eMotocross European Champion in 2023) achieved success in the Teillet team.
Three lightning-fast Frenchmen on KTMs
Back to the roots, but with a very strong trio of promising riders.
First of all there is Léo Diss-Fénard – a name to remember. French champion Minivert 65 in 2021, champion 85cc in 2022, French champion Espoirs 85 in 2024, and in 2025 immediately fourth in the French Junior Championship during his very first season on the 125cc. That's promising.
Then there is Eliot Buysschaert. Perhaps a few fewer titles under his belt for now, but at least as much talent. He also made the switch to the 125cc class last year and was expected to start this season after a tough winter on the KTM could surprise quite a few people.
And finally Rafael Mennillo. He was born in 2025 world champion and French champion in the 85cc. IIn 2022, he already won the 65cc Minivert title. A remarkable record.
Double attack: EMX125 and French championship
Three serious French motocross hopefuls so, those who enter the battle with ambition and resources in both the EMX125 if it French Junior Championship.
The support of KTM and the FFM gives the whole thing an official character that the team more than deserves. It's going to be a season to watch. Let's go!
