Drei Fahrer in der Sportbike-Klasse und einer in der IDM Supersport. Damit ist das Triumph Germany Racing Team in der Internationalen Deutschen Motorradmeisterschaft breit aufgestellt. Rob Vennegoor übernimmt zum 1. Januar 2025 das Management. Man kennt sich.
Oliver Svendsen, Fabio Sarasino und Anton Södergren werden 2025 in der neuen IDM Sportbike auf Triumph fahren. Iñigo Iglesias ist das Zugpferd in der IDM Supersport. Teammanager Rob Vennegoor soll im Hintergrund die Strippen ziehen. Der Niederländer ist bekannt. 2023 führte er im damaligen Füsport-RT Motorsports by SKM-Kawasaki den Spanier Iñigo Iglesias zum IDM Supersport 300-Titel. Anschließend leitete er ein eigenes Team in der Weltmeisterschaft in der Nachwuchsklasse.
“Rob and I are kindred spirits in motorsports,” explains team boss Denis Hertrampf, adding, “He always gives 100 percent and is reliable. We met in early December, and I outlined our future plans in the sport to him. Rob will handle all operational matters at the racetrack and the necessary logistics between races.” The agreement is long-term. “The plan for 2026 is to have a team in the Sportbike class in the IDM and also as part of the Superbike World Championship. Our goal is to establish a training program for young riders together with Triumph,” adds Technical Director Lothar Kraus, revealing another fact: “Denis and Rob Vennegoor have known each other for more than 20 years. They live just 30 minutes apart.”
Vennegoor is taking the initiative right away. “As early as next year, we’ll be expanding and training our team of mechanics so we’re fully prepared for 2026. Anyone who wants to advance their career as a race mechanic, is a team player, and is willing to travel is welcome to send me their application!”
