Husqvarna Factory Racing is pleased to announce new multi-year agreements with both Nestaan and reigning MX2 World Champion Kay de Wolf, extending one of the most successful partnerships in modern motocross and reaffirming the brand’s long-term commitment to the FIM Motocross World Championship.
Words | Press release
The renewed agreements represent the next chapter in a relationship built on trust, shared ambition and sustained success at the highest level of the sport.
De Wolf’s story with Husqvarna Factory Racing began eight years ago when he joined the programme as a promising 13-year-old talent. Since then, the Dutchman has progressed through the ranks to become one of the sport’s leading riders, culminating in his outstanding 2024 MX2 World Championship title. His new agreement continues a journey built on loyalty, shared ambition and long-term development.
Nestaan’s relationship with Husqvarna stretches back to the manufacturer’s return to the FIM Motocross World Championship. After initially supporting the factory effort, the Dutch company assumed responsibility for operating the official Husqvarna Factory Racing team in 2020 and has since helped establish one of the benchmark organisations in the paddock.
That partnership reached new heights during a landmark 2024 season, when Husqvarna Factory Racing secured both the MX2 Riders’ and Manufacturers’ World Championships, claimed victory in 16 of the season’s 20 Grands Prix and finished first and second in the final MX2 standings. The renewed agreements build on that success while providing a strong platform for the future.
Looking ahead, Husqvarna Factory Racing enters the next chapter with an exciting and settled rider line-up. Alongside de Wolf in MXGP, Liam Everts races ahead in MX2, and remains under contract through the 2027 season, providing continuity as the team continues its pursuit of Grand Prix victories and World Championship success.
Together, the renewed agreements underline Husqvarna Factory Racing’s long-term vision for the future. With Nestaan, Kay de Wolf (MXGP) and Liam Everts (MX2) all committed to the programme, the team enters the coming seasons with a shared ambition to continue fighting for victories and world titles.
“I’m really happy to have extended my contract with Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing. I’ve grown up with this team since signing my first contract at 13, so it truly feels like home. It feels like family, and I couldn’t be happier to stay. I’m really excited about next season and the years ahead. Hopefully, we can achieve some special things together and continue building the story we set out to create from the very beginning. This team has played such an important part in my career, but it’s not only about what happens on the track. It’s about everyone across the whole organisation who has been there since the start. Being part of that is incredibly special.”
