August 2025 – Sturgis, South Dakota
This week, Dalton Gauthier takes on a whole new kind of adventure—partnering with Triumph Motorcycles to compete in the Jackpine Gypsies Short Track I & II and the Super TT during the legendary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
But before the action even began, the trip was already a race of its own.
After wrapping up time in Pensacola, Florida, Dalton loaded up and drove nearly 26 straight hours, hauling his trailer across the country through the night—dealing with mechanical headaches and roadside delays along the way. Dalton, two buddies and the open road, determined to make the most of this one-of-a-kind opportunity.
He rolled into Sturgis Sunday morning, running on fumes and focus—just in time to get some good rest before gearing up for the first full day of mechanical setup and racing.
But that wasn’t the only curveball.
Robby Bobby, Dalton’s right-hand man and trusted mechanic, had just finished wrenching for rising star Bodie Page at MotoAmerica’s VIR round. He was scheduled to fly out and meet Dalton in time for the Sturgis races—but fate had other plans. His flight was cancelled, and he hasn’t made it out yet. The hope? He’s still trying to make it in before the Super TT this Friday.
Even without his full crew, Dalton’s charging ahead.
Teamed up with fellow standout Brandon Paasch, the two are repping Triumph Motorcycles aboard the powerful Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro—showcasing what these adventure bikes are truly capable of in real race conditions. While most people think of the Tiger as a touring machine, Dalton’s proving it can hold its own in the dirt, on the edge, and under pressure.
“It’s not what I usually ride—but that’s what makes it fun,” Dalton shared. “This whole week is about pushing limits, and Triumph’s stepping into this with the same mindset I have: race it, prove it.”
As the Official OEM Partner of the Jackpine Gypsies Short Track I & II and Super TT, Triumph is doing more than showing up—they’re showing out. And Dalton is proud to help lead that charge.
Catch all the action this week in Sturgis as Dalton brings the heat — from Florida to the front row.
