Beta Motorcycles announced its entry into the field of the 2024 Monster Energy / AMA Supercross Championship. As preparations continue for the 2024 season, the Liqui Moly Beta Racing Team has confirmed the signing of Benny Bloss. He is the first of two SX riders to sign for the team.
Veteran racer Benny Bloss will compete on Beta’s two-rider team in next year’s Monster Energy Supercross Series in the 450SX class. His teammate will be named later.
The veteran racer, Bloss, will ride the new Beta 450 RX.
“The wait is over and we can finally share everything we have been working towards,” said Race Team Manager Carlen Gardner. “It has been a great experience being a part of this development and seeing the progression. The only missing part was finding a rider that would mesh well with our Beta family. After a one phone call with Benny, we knew it would be a good fit for him, and for us. We are happy to have him on board for the next two years and can’t wait to see everyone at Anaheim in January.”
Gardner will be scouting over the summer months looking for the team’s second rider. Bloss begins testing in August with his future teammate joining in soon after.
While the team is focusing on Supercross only, it may elect to race select outdoor Nationals in 2024, as well. CN
