Todd Kellett has signed to contest beach races for the French Dragon Tek Yamaha team after testing the bike in Dunkirk. Kellett, who recently won the Weston-Super-Mare beach for the third time and was fifth in the Red Bull Knockout and won the Skegness beach race in the same weekend, came to the attention of the French Dragon Tek Yamaha team, writes Dick Law.

He travelled to Dunkirk in France to test out the Yamaha last week and have agreed to race the remaining rounds of the French Sand Racing Championship under the St Blazey Dragon Tek Yamaha Team.

This will include two rounds before Christmas and the final round at the biggest beach race of the all, Le Touquet at the beginning of February.

Todd has some planes in the pipeline for his motocross racing in 2019, but they have yet to be finalised.
