Liqui Moly Beta Factory Racing announced it will withdraw from the remainder of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship (Supercross) after both of its premier-class riders were sidelined in the opening rounds. Benny Bloss broke his wrist during press day at the Anaheim season opener, and Mitchell Oldenburg suffered a concussion and fractures to the radius and ulna in a qualifying crash in San Diego the following week.

Both riders have undergone successful surgeries and are now recovering. The team said it will forgo the rest of the Supercross season and will be removed from the Supercross points battle as it prioritizes medical care and rehabilitation. Race Team Director Carlen Gardner called the decision heartbreaking, given the riders’ strong off-season pace, but said it will give them time to recover fully before returning to competition.

Beta will redirect its full resources to contest the complete 11-round AMA Pro Motocross Championship, the team’s first full outdoor series campaign, and will still target the three-round SuperMotocross Playoffs (SMX). Team efforts will include continued development of the new Beta 450 RX and concentrated support for rider rehabilitation and conditioning.

The Pro Motocross season begins May 30 at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, and the withdrawal preserves Beta’s ability to enter every outdoor national. Team officials framed the move as an operational and scheduling response to early-season injuries that prioritizes rider health while aiming to maximize competitiveness across the outdoor schedule and postseason as the riders complete their recoveries.
