Piper Bell builds momentum in the 2026 WMX professional motocross season

Rookie rider Piper Bell concluded her 2026 WMX season with strong performances in the final three rounds at the Pro Motocross Nationals. After an amateur career that included a sixth-place finish at the 2023 Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals, Bell made her professional debut this year at the Hangtown Motocross Classic. She secured multiple top-10 finishes during the first half of the season before achieving her first moto top-five results at Unadilla and Budds Creek. The series, which saw its participation grow to nearly 40 riders in 2026, features a ladder system primarily fueled by amateur talent. Bell plans to refine her skills this winter by training at the NXT LVL 101 Training Facility in South Carolina. She aims to apply this preparation toward the start of the 2027 outdoor season.
