Raven proudly announces the continuation of its partnership with the VHR Yamaha Official Team for the 2026 EMX250 Championship season. Building on a championship-winning legacy, the team will line up with Mano Faure and Jarne Bervoets as it continues its mission to compete at the front of European motocross.
The VHR Yamaha Official EMX250 team enters the new season with strong momentum after securing the 2025 EMX250 European Championship title with Janis Reisulis. That achievement confirmed the team’s position as a benchmark in rider development, race execution and performance at the highest European level.
For 2026, Mano Faure steps up to the EMX250 class bringing precision, control and steady progression. Following an impressive EMX125 season where he finished runner-up in the championship, Faure arrives with growing confidence and clear ambition, ready to take on the demands of the highly competitive EMX250 category.
Jarne Bervoets completes the lineup with speed, determination and a relentless drive to improve. Known for his aggressive riding style and competitive mindset, Bervoets enters the 2026 EMX250 season motivated to deliver consistent top results and establish himself as a front-running contender.
Throughout the season, both riders will compete wearing the Raven RV-Zero 2026 collection, featuring the latest jersey and pants engineered for maximum mobility, ventilation and race-day durability. The RV-Zero platform reflects Raven’s rider-first philosophy, developed through rider feedback and built to perform under pressure.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with VHR Yamaha Official. A European Championship title in the 250 class in 2025 shows the level of work behind this team. Structure, focus and real commitment drive their results.
We value their close and constant connection to their riders. The mindset is strong. The feedback we receive from the team feeds directly into how we develop our products.
At Raven, we build our gear together with riders. From championship level to local tracks, the commitment stays the same.”
Davide Rinaldi, Head of Partnerships, Raven
VHR Yamaha Official EMX250 Team Manager Pierre-Alexandre Renet shares his perspective on the continued partnership and the objectives for the 2026 EMX250 season: “We are, of course, very pleased to continue this partnership with Raven. 2025 marked the first year of collaboration between VHR and Raven, and we secured the 250 European Championship title with Janis Reisulis. For 2026, two new young riders, Mano Faure and Jarne Bervoets, are joining the VHR team and will be eager to continue to make Raven’s colours shine.”
This partnership further strengthens Raven’s presence within the European motocross scene, aligning with a proven championship structure and Yamaha’s race-winning machinery. With a title-winning team, ambitious young talent and Raven’s performance-driven racewear, the 2026 season begins with clear intent.
