Roper Joins
TrialStoreUSA Trials Team
T
rialStoreUSA and Beta
USA announced the ad-
dition of Pro-class standout
Josh Roper to the Trial-
StoreUSA team for the 2026
NATC MotoTrials Cham-
pionship season. Roper,
a veteran competitor with
multiple championships and
Pro class wins, will lead the
team's effort aboard the all-
new Beta Sincro Factory.
"I am proud to join the
TrialStoreUSA and Beta USA
team for the 2026 NATC
MotoTrials Championship,"
said Roper. "I'm truly grate
-
ful for the opportunity to be
part of the Beta family and
represent a brand with such
deep roots in trials. With
the all-new Sincro model
released this year, I'm look
-
ing forward to showcasing
its performance throughout
the season. See you out on
the loop!"
"Not going to lie, having
a rider of Josh's caliber on
the team was not neces-
sarily the plan for 2026, but
when the opportunity came,
we were not about to let it
slide," said Alex Niederer,
founder and operator of
TrialStoreUSA. "I have been
around Josh for a long time;
he is a phenomenal rider
with lots of motivation and
skills. Having competed
against Josh myself, I am
confident that he will not
only represent TrialStore
-
USA and Beta like a true
professional but also mix it
up with the very best in the
U.S. We are looking forward
to having Josh on the team.
None of this would be pos
-
sible without the support
from Beta USA."

Mosiman To
Miss Remaining
Supercross
Rounds
M
ichael Mosiman will miss the
remaining rounds of the 2026
Monster Energy AMA Supercross sea-
son after a crash while training left him
with a dislocated elbow and a broken
arm. He is currently third in the 250SX
West points standings.
"I got injured this past Tuesday out
at The Farm [Monster Energy Yamaha
Star Racing's training facility in Flori-
da]," Mosiman said via social media.
"First day back on Supercross, getting
ready for Birmingham the following
weekend. Huge bummer, huge disap-
pointment. I dislocated my elbow, I
broke my radius, and I broke some
fingers and a few different bones in
my hand. I had to have surgery on my
radius. They reduced my elbow. Fortu-
nately, the recovery time is not terribly
long, and it looks like I should be—if all
things go to plan and go well—hope-
fully I'll be ready for outdoors."
