Another top 250 rider will be missing this weekend’s SuperMotocross Playoff Finale in Las Vegas.
Triumph’s Jalek Swoll will be sitting out the race due to his concussion that he sustained at the first round in Charlotte. Both the team and rider feel that it is best to take the weekend off and focus on the upcoming 2025 season.
Below is a video that Swoll and Triumph shared to Instagram this morning and below that is the official press release from Triumph regarding the situation.
Triumph Racing’s maiden term in the SuperMotocross World Championship has come to a premature end as Jalek Swoll has withdrawn from this weekend’s round in Las Vegas. The Floridian, who crashed at the first SMX round in Charlotte, North Carolina, will now focus on returning to full fitness in preparation for the 2025 season.
The decision for Swoll to continue recovering from his concussion will ensure that he is poised to take full advantage of upcoming off-season and prepare himself to contend for race wins and podiums aboard his TF 250-X in 2025. Following a successful first term with Triumph, in what was the brand’s first attempt at off-road competition, Swoll is focused on building on his achievements with the team in 2024.
Triumph Racing will support Jalek as he continues to recover before he switches his focus to the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship. Together with the team, Swoll will attend the final SMX round in Las Vegas this weekend to meet racing fans and sign autographs ahead of the off-season.
Bobby Hewitt – Triumph Racing USA Team Principal: “This is not the end to the SuperMotocross World Championship that we wanted, of course, but Jalek’s health is our main priority. As a team, and after a very successful season, we had high hopes for Jalek in SMX, so his crash was very unfortunate, as they always are. The Triumph Racing team truck and staff will be present at the final round in Las Vegas so that racing fans can see the TF 250-X in person, and then we’ll return to our base in Georgia, regroup, then begin our preparations for 2025.”
Swoll currently sits 18th in the 250 SMX Playoff standings with 14 points.
