Triumph Factory Racing’s Jeremy Sydow and Leo Joyon delivered a breakthrough weekend at round three of the 2026 FIM EnduroGP World Championship in Vierumäki, Finland. Sydow claimed his first Enduro1 podium for the team, while Joyon secured his maiden Junior1 class victory of the season.

 

Jeremy Sydow endured a challenging opening day on Saturday but showed flashes of strong pace throughout, including two top-five scratch test results before a technical issue midway through lap two brought an early end to his race.

 

Returning determined on Sunday, Sydow quickly found his rhythm and steadily built speed throughout the day. Consistently posting top-eight test times, Jeremy delivered one of the standout moments of the weekend, going third-fastest on the second Cross Test to move firmly into the top 10 overall heading into the final lap. A strong finish secured him seventh overall in EnduroGP and an impressive third place in Enduro1, his first podium result of the season and a major milestone in his debut year with Triumph Factory Racing. The result was particularly significant given his recent return from injury and highlighted both Jeremy’s pace and the continued development of the TF 250-E.

 

Leo Joyon continued his excellent start to the season with another podium-filled weekend in the Junior ranks. After placing eighth in Friday’s rain-affected Super Test, the Frenchman gradually built momentum on Saturday and, once settled into the demanding conditions, delivered an impressive charge with two test wins and a string of top-five times. Despite narrowly missing out on the overall Junior podium by just 0.2 seconds, Leo claimed his first Junior1 victory of the year, marking another important step forward in his first season with the factory team.

 

Sunday followed a similar pattern, with Joyon improving as the day progressed and excelling on the Cross Test, where he set the fastest time at the end of lap one before going second fastest on lap two. By the end of the second lap, he had moved into third overall in Junior and led the Junior1 class, but a 30-second penalty on the final lap dropped him to seventh overall at the finish. Even so, Joyon still secured second in Junior1, making it six podium finishes from six race days and further underlining his remarkable consistency.

 

Triumph also celebrated further success across its supported teams in Finland. Morgan Lesiardo of Triumph Italia Racing secured second place in Enduro1 on both days aboard his TF 250-E, while Johansson MPE rider Will Dennett impressed in the Junior category, finishing second overall in Junior and second in Junior2 on Sunday.

 

After round three, Sydow moves up to 18th in the EnduroGP standings and climbs to ninth in Enduro1 despite missing the opening round and his day one retirement in Finland. Joyon now sits fourth overall in the Junior standings and maintains second place in Junior1, with the gap to the championship leader reduced to just 12 points with four rounds remaining.

 

The 2026 FIM EnduroGP World Championship continues next month with back-to-back rounds at the GP of Portugal I and GP of Portugal II in Fafe, beginning on June 12–14.

 

Jeremy Sydow

“It feels great to finally be back on the podium after a tough start to the season with the injury and then the DNF yesterday. I was feeling really good on the bike on Saturday, so it was frustrating for the day to end the way it did, but that’s motorsport sometimes. Today everything came together much better. I felt comfortable with the bike from the beginning, made very few mistakes, and put together a really solid ride to finish third in class and seventh overall. The bike worked perfectly all day, so now we’re back on the right track and I’m looking forward to carrying this momentum into Portugal.”

 

Leo Joyon

“Honestly, this GP was a tough one. The long transfers and conditions made it demanding, but overall there were still a lot of positives to take from the weekend. On Saturday I had some really good speed, especially in the Cross Test, although a few crashes on the first lap cost me a lot of time. Even so, taking my first Junior1 win of the season was a great feeling. Today was better in many ways and I felt stronger on the bike, although I still made too many mistakes. The penalty at the end was frustrating, but second in class is still a good result and we’re continuing to move in the right direction. I know there’s more to come from me and I’m already focused on improving again in Portugal.”

 

Paul Edmondson – Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team Manager

“Overall, it’s been a really positive weekend for the team. Jeremy showed great pace all weekend and it was fantastic to see him bounce back today with a top-10 EnduroGP result and third in Enduro1 after the disappointment of yesterday. Leo also continues to impress with his speed and commitment, and although he’s still learning and building consistency, another class win and another podium show just how much potential he has. We’re leaving Finland feeling confident and excited for Portugal.”
