In addition to GNCC and now NEPG, Barnes is a regular competitor in the Border Battle XC series where he currently sits second overall in the AA class with one round remaining at ERX Motor Park in Minnesota on October 7.
Cody Barnes – “I am very excited to have this opportunity with Beta USA,! I am looking forward to the rest of this year and next years race seasons. I believe that I will be able to put in very good results in these last 4 rounds of the GNCC series this year with how I am feeling on and off the bike. I expect myself to be on the podium in XC3 at every round and hopefully on the center of the podium. I feel awesome on the bike and think that is not only helping me with my riding but also my confidence level.”
Rodney Smith, Beta USA Race Team Manager – “I’m very excited to sign Cody to our Factory team! He has been riding and developing our new 125 RR most of this year and now for the 2nd half of the season he feels he is ready to race the 125 RR! Barnes will finish out the rest of this year on the Factory Team in the remaining GNCC events.I’m Looking forward to seeing his full potential!!”
