We are really excited to continue working with Aaron and Julien for another season, while we also welcome both Eli and Jorge into the team for 2026. This year started strongly for Aaron, and after spending an extended period on the sidelines, he is focused on getting back to where he was. We are all looking forward to having \u2018The Cowboy\u2019 back at the races with the team \u2013 he is chomping at the bit to get going. In addition, it is always interesting to bring in a rider such as Eli, who we have raced against over the last decade and we\u2019ve always looked for ways to beat him, but now we are focusing on how we can support him to win. I am confident that our team and all of the riders will benefit from his experience and maturity,\u201d said Red Bull Factory KTM Team Manager Ian Harrison.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_14428\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]<img class=\"size-large wp-image-14428\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KTM-2026_Julien-Beaumer-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/> Julien Beaumer will be the sole rider in the 250 class aboard a KTM 250 SX=F Factory Edition.
