The power dynamics within the Supersport World Championship are set for a major shake-up ahead of the 2027 season. Simon Buckmaster's PTR squad, which has spent years transforming the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS into one of the most formidable machines on the grid, now faces a fascinating internal rivalry as brand loyalty and factory status shift within the British manufacturer's camp.
Over the past three seasons, Tom Booth-Amos has delivered 17 podium finishes including four race victories for the team, though championship glory slipped away due to costly crashes. Despite laying down every milestone for Triumph in WorldSSP, Buckmaster's crew will relinquish its exclusive top-tier status in 2027 as Marc Griffith's Renegade team makes its much-anticipated return to the world championship as the spearhead of the iconic British brand.
For PTR, yielding the premier factory designation is deeply tied to questions of honor and public image, even if the operational differences between factory racing and supported setups are minimal in reality. To counter this looming threat, PTR Triumph has made a massive statement by signing two-time world champion and 27-race winner Dominique Aegerter to lead their charge alongside young British talent Joshua Whatley.
Meanwhile, the incoming Renegade outfit is slated to field Booth-Amos alongside Ayumu Sasaki, who steps away from the Moto2 paddock after struggling to establish himself at the sharp end of the intermediate class. The Japanese rider, tied closely to the Griffith family, will get his hands on the brand-new Triumph 798 machinery as he seeks a fresh start in production-based racing.
With high-profile driver market moves and upgraded machinery entering the fray, the 2027 WorldSSP grid promises an electrifying battle for supremacy. The clash between Dominique Aegerter's proven race-winning pedigree and the ambitious new Renegade project sets the stage for a compelling championship narrative.
