Ben Watson will remain with Dirt Store Triumph Racing for the 2027 season after extending his contract with the British-based team.
The deal will see the Brit enter his second season with the team as he looks to build on his experience and challenge for further success in the coming campaign.
British Championship title target
Watson will once again contest the MX1 British Championship in 2027, with the ultimate goal of fighting for the title. The experienced rider will also compete in selected rounds of the MXGP World Championship, giving him further opportunities to test himself against the world’s best.
There is also the possibility of Watson lining up for some AMA Pro Motocross races next season, although that programme has yet to be confirmed.
With Watson’s future now secured, Dirt Store Triumph Racing are expected to announce the remainder of their rider line-up in due course as preparations continue for the 2027 season.
Dirt Store Triumph confirmed the news on social media:
WATSON RE-SIGNS. 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.
Jon Giffard, Team Manager – Dirt Store Triumph Racing:
