IVÁN CERVANTES , EL TORITO
Five time World Champion Iván Cervantes ’ racing career began in motocross , where the Spaniard won five national titles , before moving to enduro in 2002 . At 23 years old , Iván made history by becoming the first Spanish champion in the EnduroGP E1 category . He followed this with a further three world championship titles in EnduroGP and an FIM Indoor Enduro World Cup championship title . In 2008 , Iván became Spain ’ s first and only overall winner , in the 83rd edition of the International Six Day Enduro . Following his Enduro career Iván turned to the Dakar for his next challenge , where he competed three times and finished what is arguably the toughest motorcycle race in the world , twice .
After his retirement from professional level racing , Iván began his work with the Real Federación Motociclista Española , as the Sport Manager of Enduro in Spain . In this role Iván is the Manager of the Spanish Junior Enduro Team , and the track inspector for the Spanish National Enduro Championship . Iván ’ s focus on giving back to the sport that gave him so much , sees Iván joining Triumph for the once in a lifetime opportunity on working on a ground up new off-road project .
“ I have loved Triumph motorcycles right from being a small kid , seeing them in films and on television . So , to be working with Triumph from the beginning of this project is an amazing opportunity for me , not just because it is working with one of the world ’ s greatest motorcycle brands but also for being part of building something from zero . It is a dream come true for any racer !
Like me , everyone I am working with at Triumph is focused to make the bikes the best they can be . I cannot wait to see the bikes competing at a world level , but I also look forward to when I can stand in a Triumph dealer and know I was part of this very special project .”
