Michael's Picks

ML's Take: 450 test season will be good this year...new Honda CRF450R, the Beta 450, a Triumph 450 late this year/early next year. Woot woot!

 

ML's Take: Star has a few bikes parked...let's give Jay Wilson another go!

 

ML's Take: Not too shabby on Supercross too.

 

ML's Take: Bringing a new meaning to lap bars...

 

ML's Take: Cue "Back in my day".

 

Lewis' Picks

Lewis' Take: It almost feels surreal that Triumph's actually racing. It was a successful weekend!

 

Lewis' Take: This feels like a bit of a 'first blow' from Tim Gajser. It's not like the field was weak.

 

Lewis' Take: I am baffled why Tommy Searle didn't jump from the top of one whoop to the next.

 

Lewis' Take: This has just confirmed that I have absolutely no interest in riding in the near future.

 

Lewis' Take: In a shock turn of events, I really prefer Triumph's American look to the MXGP one.

 

Jamie's Picks

Jamie's Take: Austin Forkner getting back on the top spot of the podium is my Detroit highlight. I’ve been pulling for this kid a long time. Hope the trend continues.

 

Jamie's Take: It’s great seeing Grant Harlan getting back to riding. It’s going to be a difficult task to get back in a SX Main this season, but I look forward to watching him go for it.

 

Jamie's Take: Jalek Swoll’s debut on a Triumph could have gone much worse. Sixth on the night is a good spot to build from. 

 

Jamie's Take: The off-road season has started and the AmPro Yamaha team is looking to have a stellar season yet again.

 

Jamie's Take: Phil is not as scary as he looks. He’s a big teddy bear.

Not sure why Triumph USA is holding off on Monster Energy as  a sponsor and why Europe is running Thor?

Triumph USA isn't holding off Monster as a sponsor, they didn't land a deal with them. The USA team was in touch with multiple USA gear brands, including Thor, but ultimately ended up at Renen. The MX2 team got their deal with Thor done much earlier and had a prior relationship with the brand.

Thanks, is it usually deal or no deal or if they get podiums and good publicity would that likely land a big sponsor?  It was a big operation team and planning where a lot went in so I thought it would be an easy deal from the start and that a company like Monster would want to get involved with as many teams as possible since Triumph already has some bright green colors.  RENEN in a nice look for them and the gear company since not many teams are running that logo and color scheme.
