Cycle News Staff | June 26, 2024
News broke this morning that Colt Nichols and Beta USA have mutually parted ways after one Supercross season together. Nichols was originally signed through the 2025 season however both parties agreed to go their separate ways. The 2021 250SX East Champion spent much of the 2024 season dealing with injuries, racing seven rounds and finishing 20th overall in 250SX points. His best finish was an 11th at the Salt Lake City finale.
Beta USA confirmed they will continue to field a two-rider Supercross team for the 2025 season and is currently seeking a replacement rider to join teammate Benny Bloss.
“I appreciate Colt for the time he spent with the Beta USA team and we wish him all the best for his future,” said Carlen Gardner, Team Manager.
“When building a new team, success does not generally come overnight. There are highs and lows. Our team worked extremely hard with Colt however with him being injured, and then coming back mid-season, it was a tough uphill battle. We will continue to push non-stop to develop our team into something special. I wish Colt the best for the future,” said Tim Pilg, Beta USA President.
