The 2024 AMA Supercross season is almost upon us, and Pro Motocross will be kicking off eventually as well (racing starts in May). Triumph has a new motocross bike to race, and has just announced three riders for its US team.

For 2024, Joey Savatgy, Evan Ferry and Jalek Swoll will ride the new Triumph TF250-X in American competition. Twenty-one-year-old Swoll will ride AMA Supercross in the 250SX East division. Previously, his best season was 2021, where he ended fifth overall in the 250SX West series. He bagged his first 250 class race win in Pro Motocross that season as well; he will race both the indoor and outdoor series for Triumph this year.

Nineteen-year-old Ferry will also race the 250SX East series. It’s his rookie season; he’s had success in Supercross Futures competition and at the Loretta Lynn Amateur Nationals, and now he’ll have the chance to show his capability in top-tier pro competition.

Savatgy, who may be a more familiar name to some readers, will run the Triumph 250 in Pro Motocross this season, but he is ineligible in the Supercross quarter-liter series due to his past successes there. If Triumph had a 450, he could race in that class, but they don’t—so he can’t. He’s the most experienced rider Triumph has, and he has the wins and podiums to prove he can be the fastest guy on-track. If he can repeat that magic in the Pro Motocross series this year, Triumph will be very, very happy!

Finally, the last piece of the puzzle is trainer Mike Brown, a former Pro Motocross champ himself. He seems very positive on the work done so far (although you can hardly expect a good company man to complain… ).

So far, everything is looking really good within the team with the bikes, and the riders. Everyone at Triumph Racing has been working really hard and my role is to get all three riders ready for 2024, both physically and mentally. It’s been an exciting challenge, and everything is going really well. All three riders have everything they need to run up front next year and when we start racing supercross, I think we can contend for heat race wins and shoot for the top-five in the main events.

Stay tuned, the fun starts soon!
