Bloss has impressed me with the Beta this season. And now he got 8th which is really good from him, i don't think he has had many top 10 in his career (even in the BTO KTM days when he was on a factory KTM)!

I thought 13-15th would be his ceiling with the Beta but he is better than ever!

He's really consistent and understands the bike, a fast young teammate would make for a great pairing.

I’d never guessed in a million years he would do as well as he did.  I figured top 15 with Colt a top 5 or near most races.  Shows ya what I know.  Colt must be still a little banged up.  He used to be fast.

I can’t say Benny will podium, but a top 5 might not be out of the question.

He was just workin’ his way thru that gnarly track drama free. Love to see it!

Glad to see Beta doing well. Of the 3 new OEMs coming in, I felt like they were going to have the hardest time establishing themselves. Hopefully Bloss' success translates to more riders willing to give the brand a shot and thus more bike sales. I've heard the bike handles exceptionally well, which I would think be a big positive for Supercross.

I would have liked to see a 250 as opposed to 450.  For a small company the cost to run a 250 program would be a stretch.  Takes a lot of motors and rebuilds to make a season for 250 class.

I am so damn proud of Benny.

He’s proving that hard work and determination are just as important as all the other factors in the pro ranks. 

The Big Rig Is A Bad Ass!!! 

Now, I’m left waiting for a top 5.

Signed,

A longtime fan and believer. 
(I remember when he showed up to race SX on his on YZ250s…he’s come a long way!)

I believe someone who is 6'5" riding at this level is like someone that's 5'8" playing in the NBA. It's impressive just to be out there.
