Jago Geerts is joining the Beta MRT Team for the 2026 and 2027 seasons of the FIM Motocross World Championship. The Belgian rider is set to compete in the MXGP division and starts a new chapter of his career aboard the Italian-made Beta RX 450 machine after riding for Yamaha for the past eight years.
“I am very happy to have signed with Beta for the next two seasons,” Geerts said. “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!”
Geerts finished second in the MX2 World Championship for four consecutive years (2020-2023), racking up 24 GP victories and 55 podium positions along the way. In 2025, he completed his first full season in MXGP finishing 12th overall.
“We are absolutely proud to have Jago Geerts joining the Beta MRT Racing Team,” said team manager Elio Marchetti. “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.”
