Paris – September 09, 2026 -- French enduro champion Mathias Bellino is opening a new chapter in his off-road career with support from Segway Powersports, which has provided him with a Super Villain SX20T side-by-side vehicle.

Bellino built a decorated career before a 2018 crash ended professional racing

Bellino won the Enduro Junior World Championship in 2012 and the Enduro E3 World Championship in 2015. He was also part of French teams that won the ISDE Junior World Trophy three consecutive years, from 2011 to 2013. Raised in a family passionate about motorcycles, he started riding at age four before moving through motocross into elite enduro competition.

In August 2018, during his first cross-country rally, the Desafío Ruta 40 in Argentina, Bellino crashed and suffered severe spinal injuries while working toward his goal of competing in the Rallye Dakar. The accident ended his career as a professional racer.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 13, 2026 – Ken Roczen clinched the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship title last weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah — giving Suzuki its first AMA Supercross crown in 16 years. The German-born rider, competing for Team Progressive Insurance Cycle Gear ECSTAR Suzuki, held off a one-point gap at the start of the final round to seal the 450cc class title on his Suzuki RM-Z450. It is the fifth AMA Supercross title in Suzuki's history, and arguably the most dramatic finish in recent seasons.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – BMW Motorrad Motorsport is cranking up the excitement for U.S. race fans as Chicago-based OrangeCat Racing officially becomes a BMW MOTORRAD MOTORSPORT Team in the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike season. After three highly successful years in the Stock 1000 class, the privateer squad now moves into North America’s premier Superbike championship with full factory backing and a sharpened rider lineup.

From hungry privateer to factory-backed Superbike contender

OrangeCat Racing’s relationship with BMW began in 2023, when the team first lined up in MotoAmerica’s Stock 1000 class with the BMW M 1000 RR. The results came quickly: over three seasons, OrangeCat riders delivered 10 wins and 33 podiums, including runner-up championship finishes with Kaleb DeKeyrel in 2023 and Jayson Uribe in 2024, plus a 2025 title with Andrew Lee.

Confidence Through Every Weather Twist

The Spa-Francorchamps circuit lived up to its reputation for unpredictability. With rain soaking one sector and sunshine drying out another, tire strategy became the deciding factor. Teams using Dunlop’s KR109 front and KR108 rear compounds for dry conditions — and switching to KR191, KR393, or KR398i for wet and intermediate moments — benefited from reliable grip, fast warm-up times, and excellent feedback.

Confidence and Control in Every Corner

Spa’s fast corners, steep elevation changes, and notorious weather surprises make it a true test for any racer—and the 2025 edition delivered all that and more. Riders tackled a partially resurfaced 3.5 km of track, giving them smoother tarmac and improved grip—ideal conditions to push performance to the edge.
