Dirt Store Triumph Racing has confirmed Dylan Woodcock and Eddie Wade for the 2027 Arenacross British Championship, running an additional team and further strengthening its presence on the six-round grid with two of the UK’s most formidable indoor racing talents.

The announcement follows the recent confirmation of two-time Grand Prix winner Ben Watson under the Dirt Store TriumphRacing banner, with the expanded racing operation managed by Jon Giffard.

While Watson brings Grand Prix-winning pedigree to the championship, Woodcock and Wade arrive with extensive indoor racing experience and the ability to challenge for victories from the opening round.

Woodcock is widely regarded as one of Britain’s most accomplished indoor racers, having spent years competing in Supercross and Arenacross both at home and internationally. His experience, technical ability and outright speed on tight circuits make him a serious threat whenever the gate drops.

Alongside him, Wade brings his own Arenacross experience and considerable talent, having already demonstrated the pace to challenge at the sharp end of the field. A former 85cc World Champion, he will be looking to turn that potential into consistent results throughout the 2027 championship.

The pair previously represented Dirt Store Triumph Racing during the 2026 Arenacross season and will continue under Giffard’s management as Triumph expands its championship challenge.

Devon Boulton, Triumph Motorcycles General Manager UK & Ireland said: “Arenacross delivers exactly the kind of close, exciting racing that we love at Triumph, and we’re thrilled to have Dylan and Eddie back representing Dirt Store Triumph Racing in 2027. Both have the talent, experience and speed to challenge at the front, and we can’t wait to see what they can achieve. With the team expanding its Arenacross programme and such a strong rider line-up in place, there’s a real sense of momentum heading into the new season. We’re incredibly proud to support the team as they take the fight to the championship”

Serious contenders for the 2027 title fight

The confirmation of Woodcock and Wade adds further depth to a championship already attracting established Grand Prix competitors, international Supercross talent and experienced Arenacross specialists.

With six rounds across Birmingham, Belfast and Aberdeen and a £150,000 championship prize fund, the 2027 series is shaping up to deliver one of its most competitive rider line-ups.

Matt Bates, Arenacross Promoter, said: Dylan Woodcock is one of those riders you can never take your eyes off at Arenacross. He's fast, he's aggressive, he knows how to race indoors and he's absolutely capable of winning against anyone on that start gate.

People are rightly getting excited about some of the Grand Prix names coming into the championship, but riders like Dylan are the reason this is going to be such a fascinating battle. He's spent years perfecting his craft indoors, and I certainly wouldn't be betting against him.

And Eddie Wade is another rider with enormous potential. He's got the speed, he's got the talent and he's already shown what he can do in Arenacross. I think there's still plenty more to come from him.

To have both of them racing together for Dirt Store Triumph again, alongside the team's wider involvement with Ben Watson, shows just how seriously manufacturers are taking this championship.

We've got some brilliant riders and teams coming in for 2027, but nobody's going to have an easy ride. Dylan and Eddie will make absolutely sure of that."

The 2027 Arenacross British Championship will feature six rounds across three UK cities, with a £150,000 championship prize fund.
