Official: Jeremy Van Horebeek and Dean Wilson confirmed for the 2025 Brazilian Championship


The Honda Racing Brazil teams claimed 30 titles just last year and are ready to write another chapter in their victorious history in 2025. Combining young talents with experienced riders, the Motocross squad was the one that saw the most new additions.

Belgian rider Jeremy Van Horebeek, 2013 Motocross of Nations champion and 2014 MXGP vice world champion, joins the team to further raise the technical level in the MX1 category of the Brazilian Championship. He will team up with Frenchman Stephen Rubini, last year’s Brazilian runner-up, and Guilherme Bresolin, a young rider from Rio Grande do Sul who is another new addition to the squad, all competing on Honda CRF 450R motorcycles.

In MX2, riding the CRF 250R, Vitor Borba from Santa Catarina is chasing his second consecutive national title. Bernardo Tibúrcio, the current Arena Cross AX2 champion from Minas Gerais, remains part of the Honda Racing team.

The squad has also secured a major reinforcement, specifically for the Pro category in Arena Cross: Dean Wilson. The Scottish rider gave fans a taste of his skills by dominating the final races of 2024 as a guest rider, and this time, he’s set to contest the full championship. For the third consecutive year, Reinaldo Almeida continues as the team manager.
