JAGO GEERTS JOINS THE BETA MRT TEAM

The Belgian talent, a star of MXGP, joins the Beta MRT Team for a new challenge in 2026.

Betamotor is delighted to announce that Jago Geerts will be joining the Beta MRT Racing Team for the upcoming MXGP World Championship season. After a successful career in the MX2 category and two seasons in MXGP, the Belgian rider is ready to start a new chapter with Beta.

Born in Geel (Belgium) on 21 April 2000, Geerts has won European and World Junior Championship Titles, becoming one of the most promising talents in international motocross. Runner-up in the MX2 World Championship for four consecutive years (2020-2023), he has racked up 24 GP victories and 55 podium positions. In 2025, he finished his first full season in MXGP 12th, with highlights such as the 6th position at the Latvian Grand Prix and the victory in the Qualifying Race in Lugo (Spain).

Beta welcomes Jago Geerts with great excitement, confident that his experience and determination will lead the Beta MRT Team to compete for prestigious positions in the MXGP World Championship.

Elio Marchetti: “We are absolutely proud to have Jago Geerts joining the Beta MRT Racing Team. He is a young rider but already has significant international experience and a winning mentality. We believe that his speed and determination, combined with the technical growth of our MXGP project, can lead us to significant results. This signing represents an important step in Beta's strategy to establish itself among the leaders in the World Championship.”

Jago Geerts: “I am very happy to have signed with Beta for the next two seasons. It is a big change for me after eight years in Yamaha. I felt I needed a change to improve further, and I think that with the new team, this can be possible for me. I have already done some testing with the RX 450 and it has gone really well. I feel comfortable on the bike and I am ready to start winter preparation. The mood in the team is amazing and I believe that together we can achieve great results in the coming years, so I am looking forward to starting this run!”
