Triumph already called upon five-time AMA Supercross champion Ricky Carmichael and five-time Enduro World Champion Iván Cervantes to help develop the firm’s upcoming motocross and enduro range. As Hinckley preps the competition MX machines for imminent unveiling, it calls in additional reinforcements, signing former Supercross rider Ivan Tedesco and ex-MXGP contender Clément Desalle to help push the project to the finish line.
The all-new global Triumph Racing banner will debut its 250cc, 4-stroke MX models in the SuperMotocross World Championship West and East Coast series in 2024. The following season, Hinckley’s 450cc machine will vie for the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship. Before the rookie squad wedges a wheel in the starting gate, however, Tedesco and Triumph Racing Team Principal (SMX) Bobby Hewitt will refine the package to suit the rigors of competition.
