In only its second season of competition in the FIM EnduroGP World Championship, Triumph Motorcycles is celebrating remarkable success in the series. Triumph Italia Racing’s Morgan Lesiardo concluded the season as vice-champion in the Enduro1 category, while Triumph Factory Racing’s Leo Joyon finished as vice-champion in the overall Junior category and Junior1 aboard the TF 250-E.
A spectacular season finale in Wales, UK saw Triumph enjoy its home race by finishing the EnduroGP Championship in style, with double Enduro1 podium results on both days of competition. Lesiardo and Triumph Factory Racing’s Jeremy Sydow battled the dry and dusty conditions to take second and third respectively. Lesiardo also took a best EnduroGP result this year with fifth overall on the final day of the season. The 27-year-old Italian finished a strong second term aboard Triumph machinery to become vice world champion in the Enduro1 category.
Like his fellow Triumph racer, Sydow also enjoyed many positives this season. Despite missing the opening round of the series due to injury, the 26-year-old German racer made a strong comeback to earn consistent podium results in the series, ultimately finishing fourth in the final Enduro1 standings. For Triumph, the second year of racing in the world championship showcased the strength of the TF 250-E, with Lesiardo and Sydow taking 22 podiums in total across the seven rounds.
Stepping up into the Triumph Factory Racing team following Mikael Persson’s injury at the start of the season, Leo Joyon has gone from strength to strength. A dominant overall double victory in Wales signed off an impressive year where the Frenchman concluded the season as vice-champion in both the Junior category and Junior1. The 22-year-old took 24 podiums, including 10 wins, this season across the Junior and J1 classes with the TF 250-E.
Overall, Triumph has taken a number of accolades, with the most successful weekend of the season at round four in Portugal, where Triumph mounted racers took 13 podiums across six classes. In the same weekend, Joyon clinched Triumph Factory Racing’s first victory. Triumph has earned an incredible total of 62 podiums across all classes this season.
For the season finale and Triumph’s home event, Hard Enduro specialist Jonny Walker gave the Triumph Factory Racing TF 450-E its debut in the series. The fan favourite rider put on an impressive performance, finishing with a best test result of fourth in the EnduroGP category and second in Enduro2 in the opening Cross Test of the weekend. Despite not being his regular discipline, and arriving in Wales directly after a gruelling week at Red Bull Romaniacs in the Adventure class, the Triumph racer concluded the weekend with P19 and P18 in EnduroGP, and P7 and P8 in the Enduro2 class.
Joining the action was PTR Triumph Factory Racing’s Tom Booth-Amos, who contested the National Class. With little time spent off-road riding this year, and having not competed in a timecard enduro previously, the World Supersport star put on a positive performance. From the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS to the TF 250-E, Booth-Amos raced in a stacked class of 60 competitors to finish 18th and 17th over the two days. In addition, Dirt Store Triumph racer Sam Davies won the Open 4-stroke category as a wildcard on both days in Wales.
Morgan Lesiardo, Triumph Italia Racing: “We just finished the GP here in Wales, and for me it was the best one of the season. Today we took fifth overall in EnduroGP and second in class, while yesterday we could claim the title of vice World Champion, which makes me so proud and the team proud of all the work we did this season.
“Today the goal was to enjoy the riding and to go after a result in the EnduroGP standings, which we also achieved. It has been a really good season so far, we still have one more race in the Italian championship in September, but we are really enjoying everything this year. With the bike we made some improvements from last year and it has really paid off, I really enjoy it a lot. I’d like to say a big thanks to Triumph Italia and all the sponsors, as well as Triumph Racing for the support they give me, we have an unbelievable bike and it has been good to surprise everybody with our success.”
