Monster Energy Triumph Racing rider Mikkel Haarup

 

 

The Monster Energy Triumph Racing team will race in the FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship in 2024, and is led by Team Owner Thierry Chizat-Suzzoni alongside Team Manager, Vincent Bereni. This highly respected, experienced and accomplished duo have been pivotal in many riders’ careers over the last decade; together, the pairing has helped guide multiple riders to success, winning no fewer than 80 GPs in the FIM Motocross World Championship. 

Deeply involved in the machine development process, both OEM and racing, Chizat-Suzzoni and Bereni are highly motivated to achieve success with Triumph’s newly designed motocross bike, the TF 250-X. The duo have worked closely alongside Triumph engineers from Hinckley, UK while bringing in their own team’s expertise, which has been fundamental to development, while also starting an entirely new racing project. In addition, test rider Clement Desalle has been pivotal to the entire process of development, putting in the laps behind the scenes as a new motocross machine was born.

With the MXGP and MX2 series not having the same homologation rules as the US, it is an ideal test and development platform for manufacturers to refine and test their products or ideas. The team has been working extremely hard behind the scenes with Triumph engineers to prepare for this new chapter, and hope to share many ‘first’ successes with Triumph, and title sponsor Monster Energy, over the next few seasons.
