    Triumph will be supplying engines for the Moto2 class in 2019!
    A reworked version of the new 765cc three pot being used in the 'Street' series of road bikes.
    New cylinder head and titanium valves, slimmer crank and clutch casings, adjustable slipper clutch and tweakable ECU. Can't wait to see/hear those.

    Going by what I've read it's 2019. Triumph's home page suggests that.

    This is great news, 20 plus screaming triples down into the first corner of a GP is going to sound friggin awesome...

    This. Although I still won't be forking out for BT Sport to warch it.

    Don't Channel 4 or one of the ITV channels show highlights?

    I was thinking more along the lines of being at a MotoGP for the full noise experience. I do subscribe to BT Sport and have to say their coverage is really good but it's got pretty expensive now. The MotoGP.com website is good, think a season pass for their online content including live race coverage is around £150

    ITV4, but I always forget...

    Took out BT Broadband when GPs left Eurosport a few years ago to get free BT Sport and was mad as a jolly mad thing when they started charging me. The conversation with customer lack-of-service went along the lines of "but we wrote to you" although nothing ever arrived (all the other crap about new super duper routers always does!) and then they started wittering on about some football rights they now had and would be showing, making it fantastic value. I never watch and cannot stand football so how is that any value to me? They refused to accept the free offer was bait and switch so I told them to shove it and have not watched GPs since. Sadly.

    That's a shame Sir Trev. I think the racing has become a lot closer, at last, with no one team seemingly dominant.
