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.
