After Malcolm Stewart withdrew for contractual reasons with his future American team, it was necessary to find a credible replacement. Triumph Racing official and Aaron Plessinger's teammate, Jordon Smith arrives in Paris for his baptism of fire in the capital.

A pillar of the US Supercross Championship since 2015, moved to KTM, Kawasaki Pro Circuit and Yamaha Star Racing Monster, 2018 250 East Coast runner-up, third in the West in 2024, Jordon Smith is a customer. Recruited by the Triumph team last year, he will forever remain the first rider in history to have won a final on the TF 250 – X.

Moving to 450 this season, he offered several interesting performances before increasing his strength with the eighth final of the Supermotocross championship. Like his new teammate Aaron Plessinger, Smith is preparing to discover the Capital this year. Experienced, committed, spectacular, he is clearly a luxury outsider.
