Ivo Monticelli joins Ben Watson in the factory Beta team to compete in the MXGP Motocross World Championship in 2024.

A 29-year-old from Ancona, Monticelli has won the MX2 Italian title, as well as experiences in US Supercross and in the Motocross of Nations with the Italian team, and more than ten years of active participation in World Motocross Championship and British championships.

He said: “Getting back on an official bike is a great opportunity, also because I already know the MRT Team and their passion and professionalism, since I have raced with them in the past. We have a busy testing calendar that will help us to set up at our best and reach the best condition before the Italian Internationals and the start of the World Championship. I will also be at the start of some rounds of the Italian Prestige series, and I can’t wait to get on the bike!”
