Beta Announces Supercross Team T he Liqui Moly Beta Factory Supercross Team officially announced its members for the 2025 season. The 450cc team will again comprise two riders, returning member Benny Bloss and newcomer Mitchell Olden - burg. Bloss gave Beta its first top-10 result in Supercross last year (he did it twice) before suffer - ing an injury that cut his season short. This will be Oldenburg's, who turned pro in 2013, first full season in the 450cc class. "We are excited to get this season going," said Team Manager Carlen Gardner. "For year two, we are taking what we learned from our first season to make improvements and con - tinually get better as a team. We have two fast riders in Benny and Mitchell and a great bike in the 450 RX." CN WIND IN THE P28 Benny Bloss (57) and Mitch Oldenburg (49) make up the Liqui Moly Beta Factory Supercross Team. Sipes, Baylor Team Up R yan Sipes announced that he has joined Steward Baylor's Rocky Mountain/Red Bear Rac- ing Kawasaki Off-Road Team as the team's manager. Known for his remarkable versatility, Sipes boasts an impressive professional Super - cross and motocross career, and he has also excelled in off-road racing. Notably, he was the first American to achieve the indi- vidual overall title in the ISDE. His wealth of knowledge should be a significant asset to Baylor's expanding GNCC and National Enduro program. Sipes said, "I am proud to be managing the Rocky Mountain/Red Bear Racing Kawasaki Off-Road Team for 2025 and beyond. I am super grateful for the opportu - nity and excited to get back into GNCC and National Enduro rac- ing. The atmosphere is just dif- ferent in off-road, in a good way. And, although I won't be racing, it's going to be fun passing along my knowledge to our riders and helping them be their best and achieve their goals. Now that we aren't competitors, I can finally share my secrets with him! "I was a Team Green rider all throughout my amateur career. It feels good to be back with the brand. The new KXs are amazing bikes, we have great mechanics, [and] we have winning riders. We have an unbelievable practice facility at The Shoals MX. Our whole facility is top notch." CN Ryan Sipes is the new manager for Steward Baylor's Rocky Mountain/Red Bear Racing Kawasaki Off- Road Team.
