Brando Rispoli in the EMX250 European Championship. The eighteen-year-old rider from Tuscany, Brando Rispoli, will line up alongside French rider Alexis Fueri in the Beta MRT Racing Team for the EMX250 European Championship, riding the Beta RX 250 2T.
Brando, former 65cc European Champion in 2018 and third overall in the Junior World Championship the same year in Australia, made his debut in the EMX250 European Championship last season (2025). He started strongly with a sixth-place finish in race one in the mud at Cozar (Spain), but injuries during the year forced him to miss five rounds, leaving him outside the top twenty in the final championship standings.
Brando Rispoli commented:
“I’m feeling good physically again and I’m back working on the bike. I’ve tested the Beta 250 two-stroke on different types of terrain and I really like it. I’m happy to join the MRT Racing Team; we’ve already done some tests together and I’m very optimistic for the season. The race plan is to compete in the two rounds of the Italian International Championship in February, followed by the full EMX250 European Championship starting in Spain in March. I’m working hard to be fully fit for the season.”
Elio Marchetti, Team Manager, added:
“With the addition of Brando Rispoli, our European Championship line-up is now complete: an ‘experienced’ rider like Alexis Fueri, who stood on the podium last season, and a young, promising Italian rider in his first year on the 250. Both are already hard at work. For us, returning to work with young riders in the European Championship is an important project.”
