I think Swoll will be his usual 5-10. Super hard to predict a result for Ferry. He really hasn't done much since leaving Husky so I really don't have high expectations. I guess just don't let a non factory rider beat you. Should be a better opening performance than Beta. Losing Nichols really dampened their results.
Do we even know what the bikes are going to look like ?
Exciting times.
I am glad the suspension and component companies are making the leap somewhat easier, less barriers to entry.
I dig the effort, the look and I am sure they will perform, for sure they will have tv time.

Hope the broadcast does a segment about the team. Might cut into Jett time but let's see some info on the bikes and the team.
I’m surprised MXA hasn’t gotten their hands on one of them yet.
MXA won't do a write-up on a bike unless the manufacturer gives them the thing long-term to do a proper race test.
They won't just do a 'riding impression' like some mags do.
Interested to see how the bike looks. May be a rough go with how stacked the gate will be.
how come Jalek's forks don't look as cool as the other guys'?
Any word on who's killing it at the test track??
Those bikes look sweet and I hate black bikes, I think the gray helps.
How come Joey doesn't get a hole-shot device?
That's not necessarily true. There was a period when Suzuki didn't like the review of a particular model and withheld test mules for the following year so MXA went out and bought some to include in their shootout. I remember Jody writing about it.
That picture is old, those aren't the race bikes. You can see the race bikes at the end of this thread: https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/moto-related/triumph-news#comment-6094866
I remember the rule that a certain amount of units needs to be sold before the bike is eligible to race. Do you guys know of anyone that bought one? I haven’t seen it yet.
AMA regulations require the OEMs or their distributors to declare the motorcycles they intend to race ahead of each season (section 1.1 in the 2023 rule book). The mandate states that at least 400 units must be available for sale to the public, with a minimum of 200 bikes required to be in the US by March 1 and at least 400 units by June 1. Approval is only for a limited eligibility period, either five years or when the brand decides to pull its support of a particular model, and can be subject to change as the season continues.
Out of the loop, I thought Nichols was on Beta?
He is but he is hurt.
He is.
What he's saying is that with Nichols being hurt and Beta only having Bloss and Short for their Supercross debut it didn't make much of a splash.
Pit Row
Correct. Still waiting for Stark to cough up a bike for MXA to flog long term. Can't imagine why that hasn't happened yet.
Looking forward to seeing Triumph in action.
Yes...but those bikes were readily available. Isn't there a waiting list for Stark and 3 month delays on shipping? I'm sure Stark is going to prioritize selling bikes to customers who are going to fawn over them. MXA....back of the line.
No really, why does Swoll have the stock KYB coating and not Kashima? There's no way he prefers stock over Kashima....that's a law.
He doesn't get a Hinson clutch either.
Don’t forget 3pm EST race this week. Noon on the West Coast.
I'd rather see random tv time of the Triumphs sitting on bike stands, than another pan over to Jett eating a donut during a 250 Main Event.
Kinda crazy that they have Zero sponsors .
TY
8pm gmt, perfect pub time for their premier
Joey's got a different head pipe and front master cylinder too
Stark needs to get customer bikes delivered before they start giving bikes away.
Nice....I'll be checking out this event.
