KTM RE-SIGN PRADO & BEAUMER

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has re-signed two of its factory riders for 2027 and beyond, tying down both Julien Beaumer and Jorge Prado on multi-year deals across the SuperMotocross World Championship.

Beaumer, 20, has been part of the KTM factory program since 2024 and wasted little time announcing himself as one of the sport’s brightest young prospects – a maiden 250SX win last year on his way to second in the Western Regional standings. A serious back injury wiped out his 2026 Supercross campaign, but his return outdoors has been something else again, concluding the season with the overall victory at last weekend’s Pro Motocross finale. He’ll line up for a fourth season with the team in 2027 aboard the KTM 250 SX-F Factory Edition.

“These last three years have been amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the group of people I’m with,” Beaumer said. “Let’s win some races and fight for some championships.”

Prado, 25, is the more decorated of the pair. The Spaniard first joined KTM more than a decade ago, banking back-to-back MX2 titles in 2018-2019 and consecutive MXGP crowns in 2023-2024 before heading Stateside. The Spaniard reunited with Red Bull KTM this year, and finished his 2026 Pro Motocross campaign with a perfect 1-1 scorecard at Ironman. He stays on the KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition for 2027.

“We’ve had great seasons together, and this year’s been strong in both Supercross and outdoors,” added Prado. “I’m just happy to be working with this great group of people for the future.”
