Reigning Junior World Motocross Champion Jago Geerts will switch to the Kemea Yamaha squad  in 2018 .

Geerts is one of Europe’s hottest prospects and already has an impressive list of achievements including two EMX titles and a Junior 125cc world title, which he claimed last year in Russia.

“Kemea Yamaha is a really good team and they are based pretty close to me too, which is good while I still have one more year left of school,” said the 17-year-old.

“Next year I will be working with this team and gaining experience in MX2 while I finish my schooling and then in 2019 I should be ready to focus 100 per cent on racing. I am really happy to have this opportunity and a contract for next year where I hope we will learn a lot and get some good results along the way.”
