SUPERCROSS SEASON ENDS WITH SEVENTH OVERALL FOR TRIUMPH
Triumph Racing concluded its first year competing in the Monster Energy AMA 250SX East Championship with a ninth place race finish for rider Jalek Swoll in Salt Lake City, Utah. The result was enough to secure seventh overall in the standings and concludes an impressive debut performance season for the all-new Triumph TF 250-X.
The final round of the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship saw another 250SX East/West Showdown with both titles going down to the wire. The 250cc class has been ultra-competitive all season and has provided the new Triumph TF 250-X with the toughest arena in which to prove its credentials to the world.
With the team’s aim in the latter part of the season to build the intensity of Jalek’s speed much faster during an event, this direction was evident with him placing eighth and seventh in the two qualifying sessions in Utah. The #33 then progressed further with a fighting fourth in the 250 East Heat Race.
Earning the ninth best gate pick after the East/West combined qualifying, Jalek’s start in the race was typically strong, further demonstrating why the Triumph TF 250-X is fast becoming lauded for its gate-drop performance. Rounding the first lap in seventh, Jalek rode consistently fast throughout the race without getting involved in the intense battle for the two championships happening around him.
Swoll was able to finish ninth and pick up enough points to conclude the season in seventh overall. Although a debut podium fell just out of reach this season across the nine rounds, the Triumph TF 250-X displayed consistent front-running pace, bolstered with a Heat Race win and holeshots. This foundation performance gives the team confidence ahead of the outdoor motocross season beginning later in May.
