Ben Watson joins Dirt Store Triumph Racing aboard the Triumph TF 450-X. A former two-time Grand Prix winner with eight world-level podiums, Watson brings significant international experience and will contest European MXGP rounds while also targeting the MX1 British Championship.
“I chose to join Dirt Store Triumph Racing, because I know that I’ll be in a competitive spot in MXGP. The priority is getting the results that I know I am capable of internationally, and this is a big step towards that. It’s impressive what Triumph has done in such a limited time, along with the package Dirt Store have put together. I’m excited to work with them.”
DirtStore MX2, EMX250 & Arenacross Riders:
Returning to defend his MX2 British Championship crown, Tommy Searle will continue his domestic campaign on the Triumph TF 250-X, following a dominant 2025 season with three wins and seven podiums. Alongside him, Billy Askew—one of the UK’s brightest young prospects—will compete in both the EMX250 Championship and the British series after a breakout year highlighted by his first professional victory and a European podium.
The team’s Arenacross effort is bolstered by Dylan Woodcock, who continues with Dirt Store Triumph Racing following his mid-season introduction in 2025. He will be joined by new signing Eddie Jay Wade, a former 85cc World Champion with extensive international experience, both competing on the Triumph TF 450-X.
