Triumph donates £3,000 race-winning crankshaft to Wheels for Life

Triumph has donated a special crankshaft from a Moto2TM race-winning Triumph engine as part of the 2024 Day of Champions Auction.The crankshaft was from a Moto2TM engine, ridden to victory by Joe Roberts, American Racing Team in the Moto2TM race at Gran Premio D’Italia Brembo, Mugello, on 2 June 2024.

Sold at auction for £3,000, all proceeds were donated to Wheels for Life – the official charity partner of MotoGPTM. Wheels for Life aims to ensure healthcare reaches those who need it most in remote parts of Africa through the support of the motorcycling community.

The Day of Champions Auction is an annual event as part of the British Grand Prix where racing stars come together to bid on unique memorabilia to support Wheels for Life.

Joe Roberts, American Racing Team Rider said, “This crankshaft is so special to me, I was seriously considering putting a bid on it myself. Instead, we settled for an autograph and some of my favourite memories of that race!

“I’m overwhelmed by the interest and it’s surreal to know that the proceeds of this auction will go directly to the good work that Wheels for Life do”.

The crankshaft features Joe Roberts’ signature, a bespoke plaque and certificate of authentication from Triumph and will be handed to the auction winner at Triumph’s Factory Visitor Experience in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
