Ben Watson will be back racing with Dirt Store Triumph for 2027, the team have announced.
In an interview with us at the Motocross of Nations, Ben stated that he and the team’s focus would be to race in the British Championship alongside selected European GPs, while also hoping to make the trip over to America to race in some AMA Pro Motocross Rounds, but at that point he didn’t reveal who the team was.
Having finished second in the 2026 British MX1 championship with two round wins, staying settled with the Dirt Store Triumph team will certainly help his cause as he aims to take the title in 2027.
The team said on their socials:
We’re delighted to announce that Ben Watson has re-signed with the team heading into the 2027 season. After an amazing year elevating our 450 program and showcasing the capabilities of the TF-450 X on the world stage, we cannot wait to continue building on a solid first season together.
“We’re absolutely delighted to have Ben Watson continuing with the team for 2027. Ben has become a huge part of our plans, and we’re excited to build on what we’ve started together. We know what Ben is capable of on the TF-450 X and, after a year getting to this point with the bike, we know he can continue to fight at the front and challenge for championships. We’re looking forward to another big season together and continuing to push the team forward.” Jon Giffard, Team Manager – Dirt Store Triumph Racing
