Motocross
The official New Zealand Husqvarna motocross team has been re-shaped, re-branded, re-powered and re-invigorated for the coming Kiwi summer.
With Reporoa's Hadleigh Knight and Karaka's Kurtis Lilly poised to represent the brand at the four-round New Zealand Motocross Championships, starting near Timaru in February, and at other major events across the country.
The 19-year-old Knight will race one of the 2017-model two-stroke Husqvarna TC250 bikes in the MX2 (250cc) class at the nationals.
Knight finished ninth overall in the MX2 class in the 2016 nationals, despite racing only three of the four rounds because of injury. He finished No 5 in the MX2 class in 2015 and No 2 in the 125cc class in 2014.
