TRIUMPH has this evening officially revealed its off-road racing intentions, as the Triumph Racing Motocross World Championship Team is unveiled.
While it’s no secret that Triumph has been working on motocross and enduro bikes behind the scenes for some time now, today is the first official confirmation we have that the team will field two bikes in MX2 and one in MXGP.
The team will be racing under the Triumph Racing banner and is headed up by experienced Motocross team owner Thierry Chizat-Suzzoni. The extremely professional Vincent Bereni will pick up the Triumph team manager reign.
The Triumph Racing banner will from now cover all of Triumph’s racing-related activities including the newly announced Motocross team, Moto2 and Supersport racing.
