Beta MXGP future for Ben Watson!

MRT Racing at MXGP World Championship with Betamotor S.p.A.

It’s with all Italian pride that we can announce that our MRT Racing team from next year, 2023, will wear the colors of the manufacturer Betamotor S.p.A. bringing the Beta RX 450 to race in the MXGP World Championship.

Betamotor, born in 1905 and has always been the star of competitions, multi-iridated in enduro and trial, has returned to motocross in 2021 regreening a past that is part of its DNA, and facing the challenge of the world’s biggest builders in the world Top Category, MXGP. For eleven years always present at the Motocross World Cup, the team captained by Elio Marchetti has grown as a satellite-KTM team, with a particular attention to young talents to grow, and has introduced drivers like Tim Gajser, Pauls Jonas and Valerio Lata to the elite level.

With the same Lata came the 85cc World titles. (in 2019), European EMX125 in 2021, and always in 2021 with Alessandro Lupino (in the blue team with Antonio Cairoli and Mattia Guadagnini) Italy’s memorable victory in the Motocross of Nations in Mantova.

In the next season with the new Beta RX 450, Italian Alessandro Lupino and English talent Ben Watson will be on the track in the highest category of Internazionals of Italy in Motocross (debut on February 12 at Ponte a Egola in Tuscany) and in the Mon MXGP dial to take off in Argentina on the weekend of the March 12.

“Joining the BETA ‘world’ is a cause of great satisfaction for us, – Elio Marchetti’s words – but above all a further boost to our passion for motocross. Not a finishing point but a starting point: a large Italian company, an Italian team for a difficult and challenging challenge that we are ready to face with maximum determination and absolute dedication.
