TRIUMPH RACING
● Triumph has a glorious racing history, competing in and winning races in almost every
class and field of motorcycle sporting achievement, from winning the second ever Isle of
Man TT in 1908, to the thrilling last-lap victory at the legendary Daytona 200 by Brandon
Paasch on the Street Triple 765 in 2022.

● Triumph’s racing legend continues as the exclusive engine supplier to the FIM Moto2™
World Championship since the start of the 2019 season. Triumph Motorcycles provides
all the teams with race-tuned 765cc triples, each of which is based on the class-leading
Street Triple RS powerplant. Redefining the class, Triumph broke record after record in
the inaugural year, including the first ever +300km/h Moto2™ top speed. Reflecting these
great successes, the wonderful feedback, and partnerships that Triumph have had with
the riders and their teams, and the incredible response from Triumph fans across the
world, Triumph and Dorna, decided to extend the relationship in 2021 and again in 2023,
signing a new contract for another five years of racing: 2025 – 2029.

● Triumph is working with PTR Triumph Factory Racing to participate in the 2026 World
Supersport Championship. Tom Booth-Amos and Oli Bayliss are racing on the Street
Triple 765. Macadam Triumph Factory Racing continues with British Supersport riders

Brad Perie and Max Wadsworth. Triumph will also enter the all-new Sportbike World
Championship with the Daytona 660. On the roads Triumph will compete at the Daytona
200 and the NW200 with the PTR Triumph Racing team, with KTS Macadam Triumph
Factory Racing also lining up for a number of stops on the road racing calendar including
the IOM TT.

● In 2023, Triumph announced its intention to compete in the 2024 MXGP/MX2 and
SuperMotocross World Championships, and after two successful seasons, is racing with
a four-rider team for 2026. Jordon Smith, Austin Forkner, Jalek, and Mikkel Haarup are
racing for the British manufacturer, competing for the first time in AMA 450 Supercross
with the TF 450-X, as well as the AMA 250SX East Championship with the TF 250-X.
Triumph will also compete in the AMA Pro Motocross series in both categories. Triumph
earned its first Main Event win in Supercross in February 2025, and has enjoyed podium
finishes in the Pro Motocross series in ’24 and ‘25. In the FIM MX2 World Championship
Camden McLellan is competing for a third season aboard Triumph machinery, alongside
Guillem Farres with positive momentum in the new season thanks to podium results from
’24 and ’25, as well as a first moto win in April 2025.

Factory Racing’s enduro programme. In 2025, Jonny Walker took 2nd place overall in the
SuperEnduro World Championship on his TF 250 and finished the 2025 Red Bull
Erzbergrodeo on a near-standard TF 250-E four-stroke. Walker went on to win the AMA
EnduroCross championship with the TF 450-E. Triumph earned podium finishes in the
Enduro1 category of the EnduroGP World Championship with riders Mikael Persson and
Morgan Lesiardo. Lesiardo took Triumph’s first Enduro1 overall victory and EnduroGP
podium. Triumph competed at its first International Six Days Enduro in August with the TF
250-E contributing to Italy’s World Team Trophy victory with Lesiardo and Team
Sweden’s first podium in decades with Persson, as well as impressive top five individual
finishes overall. Triumph’s factory effort lines up with Mikael Persson and Jeremy Sydow
