Triumph has today announced the ten finalists of its 2013 Young Guns initiative, which aims to develop aspiring racing talent in the UK.
Over the next six months, the ten riders will undergo intensive mentoring and assessment sessions, culminating in the overall winner benefiting from a factory-supported place within the respected Triumph Triple Challenge series in 2014.
As part of the selection process and mentoring, a number of tailored training sessions will take place over the year, focusing on issues such as personal fitness, racecraft and bike set up.
The scheme will culminate in October, when three chosen finalists will go ‘head-to-head’ on the track on identical Triumph 675 Daytonas. The overall winner of Triumph Young Guns 2013 will be chosen based on a combination of their conduct over the year and their performance during the final.
