Our favorite Brit-based brand has been approached with queries of whether or not they’re considering entry into the premier class of MotoGP – and, much as the idea of a Triumph hooner licking the ankles of Ducati and KTM gives me great joy, there’s no chance of that happening anytime soon.

Today’s what-ifs are sourced from Motorcycle Sports, where Steve Sargent, chief product officer at Triumph, has responded rather adeptly to a potential team in the premier class:
“I mean…in terms of budget, that is a whole different ball game,” imparts Sargent.
“And it’s not really just about the budget to actually go racing; it’s about the amount of R&D spend and the R&D effort that has to go in behind that.”
“So our focus at the moment is on Moto2, Supersport, and going into Motocross and Enduro.”
