Following post-event technical inspections at the 2026 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations (2-4 October), the ACU must report that TeamGB has been disqualified due to a fuel-related technical irregularity.

Both ACU and TeamGB acknowledge and accept the decision of Race Direction regarding the disqualification.

Motorsport operates under strict technical regulations. The ACU and TeamGB fully respect the role of the officials in ensuring those regulations are applied consistently and fairly.

There is no suggestion the irregularity provided a competitive advantage or resulted from any deliberate attempt to circumvent the regulations by either the team or the riders. There is no allegation of intentional wrongdoing, and we remain confident in the professionalism and integrity of TeamGB.

Nevertheless, compliance with the technical rules is absolute.

ACU and TeamGB are conducting a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the issue and will work closely with the relevant authorities and stakeholders to understand how it occurred and to ensure that it does not happen again.

ACU and TeamGB are naturally disappointed by this outcome, but remain committed to competing at the highest level with integrity, professionalism and respect for the sport.

We thank our riders, partners, team members, sponsors and supporters for their continued understanding and support.
