Justin Brayton will ride the number-10 KTM for the BTO Sports team in 2015 and 2016.

Justin Brayton has officially made the switch from the JGRMX Yamaha team to Team BTO Sports-KTM-WPS for the 2015 and 2016 racing season. He will compete in both the AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross Championships aboard the team’s KTM 450 SX-F.

Brayton will join returning rider Andrew Short on the two-man team.

Brayton, who has ridden for both the JGRMX and factory Honda teams in recent years, will make his KTM debut at the Red Bull Straight Rhythm at the Auto Club Raceway at Fairplex in Pomona, California, October 4.

“I am so excited to take this next step in my career with the BTO – KTM family” said Brayton. “I am ready to win, and my new KTM 450 SX-F is a bike that I am 100% confident I can do that on.  My team and all its sponsors have welcomed me with open arms, and I am very excited to get racing with these guys.”

 “The last month has been incredibly exciting for us here at BTO” said Mike Giordano, marketing manager of BTO Sports. “With the addition of a great new rider to our team, and our recent move to an all new facility, it is nothing but fast paced excitement for us. All of us here at BTO Sports are geared up to take on 2015 in both business and racing.”
