I’ve been incredibly impressed throughout the project, from my first experiment with the team in the US, and it’s great to see how much progress they’ve made so far.
To see the masters at work, dedication and motivation from everyone is amazing. The sky is the limit and I believe everyone’s hard work on this project reflects the class of the Triumph brand. This is an exciting time to be a part of this historic project! ”

We’ve made some huge strides and some very effective changes and I’m very pleased with where we are.
I’ve been working for a long time on this project with a great team, all with the same goal: to compete from the start. I can’t wait for the next steps! ”

Having both legendary motocross riders come together to contribute to a pivotal period in the bike’s development was invaluable. Together we share the same ambition, one idea is to launch motorcycles with 100% winability, bringing something new and different to riders of both worlds, including all both Triumph’s expertise and prowess, while taking advantage of everything Ricky and Ivan know about winning and developing bikes that deliver consistent delivery from race to race. “
