Julien Beaumer renews with Red Bull KTM for 2027 and beyond

Julie Beaumer will compete with Red Bull KTM for the fourth season.

Julien Beaumer has signed a contract extension with Red Bull KTM for the 2027 Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross series, as well as future seasons, the team announced. The French rider secured second place in the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross championship before missing the Pro Motocross series due to a back injury. Beaumer returned for the outdoor races in 2026, performing well with at least sixth-place finishes in the initial four rounds, including a sixth-place finish at the Spring Creek National where he won with first and fourth-place results.

Expressing his excitement about the renewed partnership, Beaumer praised the team's support, stating, "I can't thank them enough for the belief and hard work they have put in – these last three years have been amazing, and I couldn't be happier to be with the group of people that I'm with. Let's win some races and fight for some championships! That's the goal." This will be Beaumer's fourth year with Red Bull KTM, making him one of the team's younger riders but also one of its veterans.

Ian Harrison, the team manager of Red Bull KTM, expressed pride in Beaumer's growth and acknowledged his progress throughout the 2026 Pro Motocross season, both on and off the track. Harrison believes that Julien's future is promising and praised the trust he has placed in the team, stating, "We've all seen the tremendous progress he has made throughout the 2026 Pro Motocross season, and I have no doubt that Julien will continue to develop his race craft and reach new levels in the years ahead."

The contract extension marks a significant milestone for Beaumer, solidifying his position within the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team as they continue to strive for success in the upcoming racing seasons.
