Jed Beaton and Monster Energy CDR Yamaha Team have extended their current partnership for another two years, with the Victorian now locked in until the end of the 2027 season.
Beaton first joined CDR Yamaha in 2024, immediately forging a strong bond with the Geelong-based team.
He finished second on a countback in the MX1 title after he and arch-rival Kyle Webster completed the eight-round ProMX season level on points.
The 27-year-old then completed the 2024 season with a fast-finishing fourth in the Australian Supercross Championship, showing enormous improvement in a discipline which hasn’t always been his bread and butter.
He’s now back in ProMX mode, and leads the 2025 championship by 15pts after two rounds.
It’s an environment that’s bringing out the best in Beaton, which is why he had no hesitation in striking a renewed multi-year deal.
“Despite it only being just over a season so far, my time with the Monster Energy CDR Yamaha Team has been some of the most enjoyable and rewarding in my career,” Beaton said. “The team is ultra professional in every aspect and the desire to win and achieve success is just as strong as mine.
“Last year was a solid one and, although I was disappointed not to get the ProMX Championship, I believe we have already made progress since then and the faith the team showed in me for supercross confirmed this is my racing home.
“I’m pumped to get the deal done so early in the season so now I can focus on racing and exciting to be part of the Monster Energy CDR Yamaha team for the next two seasons.”
“I really like the way Jed goes about it. He presents professional, is fit and dedicated in his racing and training and gives you all he has every time he is on the track,” said Dack. “These are the ingredients of every successful rider and on top of that, I believe Jed’s best years are still to come.
“He showed he was willing to learn and do the work to become at good at supercross, his motocross skills are already at an extremely high level and, at 27 years of age, he is in the prime of his career in terms of strength, maturity and physicality.
“It’s a great story that as a kid, Jed was always hanging over the CDR fence at races and talking with the team, to now where we are chasing championships in the prime of his career together nearly 20 years later.”
