Stark Future is proud to announce the launch of the Stark OxMoto EnduroGP Team, a dedicated racing programme set to race the Stark VARG EX in the 2026 Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship. With entries in both the E2 and E3 classes, the programme marks a major new step in Stark’s racing evolution, taking electric performance into one of the toughest and most complete disciplines in off-road motorcycle sport.

EnduroGP is not just another championship. It is one of the purest tests of rider, machine, consistency, and endurance in the world of off-road motorsport. Across forests, mountains, special tests, and long technical loops, it demands speed, resilience, and precision at the highest level. For decades, that arena has belonged exclusively to combustion manufacturers. In 2026, Stark changes that.

The Stark OxMoto EnduroGP Team, owned by Antoine Rigaudeau, will be led by Cyril Raynaud, with Sébastien Tortelli overseeing the programme as Racing Director for Stark Future. The rider line-up will feature French rider David Herbreteau in E2 and Spaniard Marc Sans in E3, combining multi-discipline off-road experience, championship knowledge, and proven racecraft.

The Stark VARG has already shown it can line up against established combustion machinery at the sharp end of elite off-road competition. EnduroGP now presents a new challenge: a world championship where performance must be sustained over full days of racing, across changing terrain, technical tests, and extreme conditions.

This programme is not about symbolic participation. It is about proving that the VARG belongs in the most demanding environments in motorcycle racing. Every special test, every transfer, and every finish line crossed will be a competitive result, but also a statement of intent.

Founded in 2020, Stark Future was created with one clear ambition: to build electric motorcycles that outperform traditional technology in every metric that matters to riders. From the first appearance of the Stark VARG on the international stage to its expansion across motocross, supercross, superenduro, enduro, and supermoto, the brand has consistently pushed performance into spaces where electric motorcycles were once considered impossible.

The launch of the Stark OxMoto EnduroGP Team is the latest step in that mission, and one of the most significant yet.

Sébastien Tortelli — Stark Racing Director

Sébastien Tortelli is one of motocross’s most respected figures. From winning the 125cc World Championship in 1996 and the 250cc World Championship in 1998, to racing for Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, and KTM, Tortelli’s career has spanned podiums across Europe, the U.S., and Japan. He played a key role in two of the sport’s biggest technological shifts: developing Honda’s first CRF450 in 2001, and later co-developing Suzuki’s RM-Z450 — both bikes that redefined racing — and today has led Stark’s racing efforts.

“Entering EnduroGP is a natural next step for Stark. The Stark VARG has already shown it can compete head-to-head with the best combustion motorcycles in top-level off-road racing. EnduroGP now gives us the chance to take that challenge into one of the toughest championships in the world. With Cyril leading both David and Marc, we believe this team has the experience and talent to be competitive from the beginning.”

Cyril Raynaud — Team Manager, Stark OxMoto EnduroGP Team

Cyril Raynaud, born on February 23 in Lyon, France, brings a wealth of off-road experience to the Stark OxMoto EnduroGP project, serving as both Team Manager and Coach. Passionate about motorcycles since childhood, he has competed internationally across various off-road disciplines, including extreme enduro, cross-country (French National Vice Champion), the French Enduro Championship, and the EnduroGP World Championship, where he achieved Vice World Champion in the Open category.

Cyril’s professional path began in the restaurant industry and team management, but his dedication to two-wheeled competition quickly led him to fully immerse himself in the world of motorcycling. He later became a certified motorcycle coach, enabling him to share his expertise and passion with riders of all skill levels, from novices to elite athletes.

For the past six years, Cyril has been closely involved with the Oxmoto structure, initially as a rider and subsequently as a coach for all its athletes. His core values emphasise discipline, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of performance. Recognising the continuous evolution of the sport, he stresses the importance of embracing new technologies.

This season marks an honour for Cyril as he takes on the role of team manager and coach for the Stark Oxmoto EnduroGP structure, supported by the trust of Antoine and direct backing from Stark Future. He highlights the Stark VARG for its exceptional performance, versatility, and adaptability. As a truly silent technological marvel, every element of the VARG has been meticulously designed and engineered to guarantee an optimal riding experience.

“We have absolute faith in this project. Establishing an EnduroGP team from scratch, centred on the Stark VARG and backed by Stark and our partners, presents a unique chance to redefine world enduro. We approach this endeavour with unwavering professionalism, ambition, and total dedication. Our goal is to compete fiercely, drive development, and maximise the potential of this platform.”

Antoine Rigaudeau — CEO of Oxmoto

“As a young entrepreneur with a deep passion for motorcycle sports, I transitioned from motocross to enduro and rally-raid, even participating in the Dakar Rally at the age of 25. This experience highlights my profound commitment and understanding of off-road racing. Driven by this passion, I took the helm of Oxmoto in 2016 with the goal of establishing it as a recognised force in the motocross and enduro sectors. I remain consistently engaged with the sport’s evolution and am particularly enthusiastic about this project and seeing it flourish. We are at the very beginning of a new era and revolution in racing, marked by new technology development and the emergence of Stark. Few people can say they were present for such a significant shift.”

David Herbreteau #103 — E2 Rider, Stark OxMoto EnduroGP Team

French rider David Herbreteau, born on December 30th, 1997, in Les Sables d’Olonnes, joins the programme. Herbreteau’s strong off-road background, developed through extensive experience in motocross, will be a valuable asset to Stark’s EnduroGP campaign. Known earlier in his career for his MX2 World Championship progression and strong European motocross performances, he now contributes his speed, adaptability, and increasing racing experience to the team.

“Motorcycling has been part of my life since I was very young. I’ve been riding for 24 years now, and this passion naturally led me into competition. I have been riding the Stark for three years, and this season officially marks my second year of racing with the bike. This year will also be my first season in the EnduroGP World Championship, which represents an important step in my career. The main goal will be to gain as much experience as possible at each round and to keep improving my performance throughout the season. My objective is to continue progressing, both personally and with the development and understanding of the bike. Competing in EnduroGP and representing Stark Future at this level is an incredible opportunity, and I’m very proud to be part of this adventure.”

Marc Sans #2 — E3 Rider, Stark OxMoto EnduroGP Team

Spain’s Marc Sans brings an established international enduro pedigree to the team. He has competed in the FIM EnduroGP World Championship, raced in the Enduro3 category, and represented Spain in the International Six Days Enduro, contributing to a Spanish World Trophy podium in 2021. His experience and championship understanding give Stark immediate credibility in the paddock.

Marc Sans Soria, born November 14, 1996, in Valls, Tarragona, Spain, is a professional enduro rider competing in both national and international EnduroGP events. On the international stage, Sans Soria boasts an impressive record in the FIM EnduroGP World Championship, including five podium finishes, a race victory, and a 4th place overall ranking in the EnduroGP E3 category. He has also been a key member of Team Spain, achieving three podium finishes at the International Six Days Of Enduro (ISDE): once in the Junior Trophy and twice in the World Trophy category.

Domestically in Spain, he was crowned Spanish Enduro Junior Champion and has secured multiple runner-up positions in the Enduro 3 category, along with several individual overall podiums in the Spanish Championship.

“My expectations for the 2026 EnduroGP season with the Stark Oxmoto team are to learn and progress as the championship goes on. The first rounds will be important to gather as much data as possible about the bike and our setup. Once we have a better understanding of where we are, my goal is to keep improving at every race. If we can fight close to the top five and maybe take a podium towards the final part of the season, it would be a fantastic result for our first time racing the Varg EX in EnduroGP.”
