Antti Pyrhönen (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing MXGP team manager): “2016 marks our third season in the premier MXGP class and we’re looking forward to this challenge. Last year we won GPs with Max Nagl and learned a lot, we’re determined to make the most out of the valuable experiences we gained. For 2016 Max is joined by France’s Christophe Charlier, in our opinion one of the most promising riders in the MXGP grid. Both our riders are impressed with the development of Husqvarna’s FC 450, a project we had started working on before the end of last year. Also, entering into a long-term partnership with Rockstar Energy Drink gives us a huge boost. I strongly believe we have the right tools and people to fight for the top step of the MXGP podium.”
