Triumph Factory Racing has officially announced the extension of its partnership with American motocross racer Jalek Swoll through the 2026 season. This decision underscores the team’s confidence in Swoll’s abilities and their commitment to achieving continued success together.
Despite currently being sidelined due to an Achilles tendon injury sustained during the off-season, Swoll is anticipated to make a full recovery and aims to return to competition during this summer’s AMA Pro Motocross Championship. Reflecting on the contract extension, Swoll expressed his enthusiasm:
“I’m super-excited to announce my contract extension with Triumph Factory Racing. I’m also really proud of what we’ve achieved together since I joined the team and I’m excited to keep building on what we’ve delivered so far.” citeturn0search2
Swoll joined Triumph Factory Racing in 2024, marking the team’s inaugural season in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross. Throughout the year, he showcased his talent and the competitiveness of the Triumph TF 250-X. Notably, Swoll secured a third-place overall finish at the Unadilla National in New York, earning Triumph its first AMA Motocross podium. citeturn0search2
Jeremy Coker, General Manager of Triumph Racing America, highlighted the significance of the extension:
“The team is really excited to extend its partnership with Jalek. During the pre-season, he was on track to show people what he’s capable of, so it was really unfortunate that he got injured. Looking forwards, this new extension through to the end of 2026 with Jalek staying on the TF 250-X gives him plenty of time to fully recover and get back to racing when he’s 100%.” citeturn0search2
Swoll’s rehabilitation is progressing well, with the team hopeful for his return in the latter half of the Pro Motocross season. Once the current season concludes, the focus will shift to preparing for the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship. Ian Kimber, Head of Global Racing Programs at Triumph Motorcycles, emphasized Swoll’s integral role:
“I’m really pleased to sign Jalek for another year with the Triumph Factory Racing team. He was an integral part of our first season and helped showcase what the bike could do.” citeturn0search2
