2025 Junior World Champion and ISDE Junior World Trophy Winner Axel Semb has signed to race the EnduroGP World Championship with WRC star Kalle Rovanpera’s KR69 World Enduro Team.

A healthy amount of moving and shaking is going on in the world enduro championship race teams over this winter period. With big name moves expected to be announced by Sherco and Triumph, a whole new Husqvarna Italy team (where Semb’s long-standing rival in the junior category, Kevin Cristino, has moved to) along with fresh faces for Honda, Fantic and TM. It will take a minute to get used to who is where when the 2026 season begins in Custonaci, Italy next April.

One of the big movers is Axel Semb who has signed to race with two-times World Rally Championship (WRC) title holder Kalle Rovanpera’s KR69 World Enduro team. Axel will join Roni Kytonen as the KR69 team doubles in size for the ’26 season.

Semb moves to the Scandinavian squad after a successful stint with Fantic Racing where he claimed an ISDE Junior World Trophy with his teammates Albin Norrbin and Max Ahlin, plus the Junior world title in 2025 and two Swedish Enduro crowns.
