The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team has officially revealed its powerhouse lineup for the 2026 season — and it’s already one of the most talked-about rosters in motocross history. Headlining the team are two massive new additions: Eli Tomac and Jorge Prado, who will join returning KTM talents Aaron Plessinger and rising star Julien Beaumer.
Tomac’s move to KTM sent shockwaves through the motocross world. The multi-time champion, long associated with Monster Energy Yamaha and Kawasaki before that, now takes on a new challenge with the orange brand. Known for his relentless drive and unmatched consistency, Tomac brings a wealth of experience and a winning mentality to the Austrian powerhouse. Many see this as his final chapter in a legendary career — one that could cement his status among the sport’s all-time greats.
Meanwhile, Prado’s arrival adds international flair and a story of redemption. After a challenging 2025 season marked by injuries and inconsistency, the Spanish MXGP star is hungry to prove himself on the global stage. His technical style and lightning-fast corner speed make him a natural fit for KTM’s precision-based approach.
Aaron Plessinger, the fan-favorite cowboy, returns for another year, aiming to bounce back from his 2025 injury-shortened campaign. His energy, grit, and humor have made him a staple in the KTM paddock, and he’s determined to show he can still run up front.
Rounding out the roster is Julien Beaumer, KTM’s young American prodigy, who will continue to develop under the guidance of his seasoned teammates. With this mix of veteran leadership and youthful fire, Red Bull KTM enters 2026 with one goal in mind — to dominate every gate drop, every moto, and every championship that stands in their way.
