Official: Cas Valk signs with Chambers KTM

Cas Valk has officially signed with Chambers KTM to complete the 2026 MX2 World Championship season, marking a swift resolution following his recent departure from TM. The Dutch rider’s return to KTM machinery offers a familiar platform as he aims to regain momentum and refocus his efforts for the remainder of the campaign. While Valk will contest the rest of the MX2 season, he is not expected to participate in the flyaway rounds, instead concentrating on European events and other domestic competitions. In addition to his MX2 World Championship commitments, Valk will compete in the Dutch Masters of Motocross series and is likely to make selected appearances in the MXGB British Championship. These additional races will provide valuable track time and help maintain his competitive edge across multiple championships. This multi-series approach reflects a strategic effort to rebuild Valk’s form and confidence after a period of uncertainty surrounding his mid-season team change. Valk expressed gratitude towards Chambers Racing for their mid-season support, as well as his personal sponsors and key individuals who have assisted him during the transition. He highlighted a positive feeling with the KTM and is eager to begin competing again, starting with the upcoming Dutch Masters race in Harfsen. This fresh start on familiar machinery could be crucial for Valk as he looks to demonstrate his potential and consistency moving forward. Chambers KTM team owner Tim Chambers welcomed Valk to the team, noting this is the first time he has supported a foreign rider. Chambers has followed Valk’s progress for several years and is optimistic about the rider’s prospects, aiming for a top-six finish in the MX2 World Championship and success in the Dutch Masters. The team also plans to make an impact in the MXGB series, with an eye on further developments for 2027. This partnership signals a renewed focus on competitive results and long-term growth for Valk’s career.
