triumph..didnt pay the Manufacturers registration fee. ? 

Could just be a graphic error, but i know there is a fee to pay to be included. 

Solid performance at MXGP this weekend, with Haarup on the podium, McClellan getting a top 10, but they didnt  show up in the Manufacturers points, as you have to pay InFront a fee for the privilege. 

Aside of Evan Ferry being out, i think that after 4 rounds of SX and one MXGP, they have shown enough to say the bike is fast, and reliable , as much as you can tell. 

With the 450 coming, will Teams be looking at it as a genuine option for 2025.

Weird decision not to include themselves in that, but 99% of fans don't care tbh.

I think there's a lot of manufacturers getting worried after the last few weeks results for Triumph. Straight on the pace at world level with an all new bike? Absolutely unheard of. They're going to sell a shit-ton of bikes.

I wonder how many top riders' agents have been hanging round the Triumph awning wanting to talk about 2025.?

It doesn't seem that not a single rider (Swoll, Haarup, McLellan) is being hindered by the bike. They're all equal or better than last year. That's surprising to me. I would have expected them to have flashes of speed but ultimately end up more like Beta with a bunch of issues and DNFs. That hasn't happened so far except for the crashes which aren't bike related

So wanted to see Swoll on the podium last night.

Impressed with how well Triumph is doing early on.     ...but I'm not surprised....Triumph came to play.

yea, might buy my first new 4 stroke because of Triumph and how they're approaching R&D on these bikes. Take the best of each brand, combine into one super bike and then be open about it.

Agree. It has peeked my interest as well and I consider myself a 2-stroke loyalist.

I've been around this gig for the better part of 45 years.....  Triumph means business.  First year, they are not putting their guys on a shit piece of a bike.  They are doing fantastic, and they are only going to get better.  What really impresses me, they started out in the "horsepower class".....  You live and die by that in the 250 group.  Trial by fire, they seem to be just fine so far.  Really impressed, would not bother me a bit to have one in my garage.
