We all know RC has some sort of deal with Triumph Motorcycles. Does anyone have any news on what brand of dirt bike he will be on? Surely he will ride moto every now and then.

If I had to guess, he'll either quietly stay riding a Suzuki or form some partnership with Kawi. If he's pimping Triumph adventure bikes, he probably won't also be promoting one of their adventure bike competitors. I'm out of the adventure bike loop, but I don't think Kawi has a modern one (not counting the good ol' KLR 650)

Definitely won’t be Triumph.

They don’t make an 85cc.

Why would another company want him as a brand ambassador?? Who would want to compete with the Triumph marketing?? That would be like ET3 running Kawi on the track, and then being sponsored by Harley for a pavement pounder..... does not compute marketing wise......

Signed with gasgas same time as Barcia. Motor is still at Varners hence no announcement. Expect a return to supercross along with Dungey. More details to follow after AC wins the outdoor title. What else am I missing?

The Varner mention was a nice touch. Well done!

Maybe John Bloor is thinking that the world might need another brand of dirt bike that didn't have an Austrian connection?

Triumph sales were down a bunch in 2019 so they could be looking for new sources of revenue.
