Aubert explains why he switched brands, "I took time to think about the various alternatives which were proposed to me", explains Johnny. I had a very good feeling with Lapo Bianchi, BETA MOTOR CEO, a passionate who has great ambitions for his Brand and Fabrizio Dini, Team Manager, who is both an old friend and teammate. I am happy to bring them my experience and help BETA to prove their racing competitiveness!"

The Frenchman will help with the development of the entire off road range along with teammate Luis Correia.

The 23 year old from Sweden is looking to gain some experience from the fast and rough GNCC tracks. Kvarnstrom joins Beta factory rider Justin Sode for the last two events on the schedule.

"We all thought is would be a great idea to bring Robert over here to race in America. He is an up and coming racer with a bunch of talent and for sure has the speed to get the job done. He just finished the World Enduro championship as well as the ISDE in Italy and we felt it was a great fit to have him fly over to contest the last two rounds." explains Beta marketing manager Tim Pilg.
