For the 2011 season the Husaberg Factory Team has taken new riders, new machinery and new partners aboard. New riders The two new riders, Pierre-Alexandre Renet and Mathias Bellino, are both from France, both former MX riders and both riding the well established Husaberg FE 450 both in the French Enduro Championship as well as the EWC. Pierre-Alexandre, better known as Pela, is Husaberg's sole factory rider in the highly competitive E2 class in 2011. As he finished 4th in the championship last year his goal is clearly to finish on the podium in 2011. Mathias makes his debut in Enduro and is Husaberg's sole factory rider in the Junior's comeptition. He is looking forward to a season full of new experiences. New machinery Staying with the team in 2011 are the former Junior World Champions Joakim Ljunggren from Sweden and Oriol Mena from Spain. Oriol stays in the big-bore E3 class but changes to the new Husaberg TE 300 2-stroke bike for 2011. He is joined by Joakim who, for the first time in his racing carreer, also moves up to the E3 class and, after many successful years aboard the Husaberg FE 450, also makes the change to the TE 300 2-stroke machine. So far this move has proven successful as Joakim managed to better his 2010 result and finished runner-up in the 2011 Indoor Enduro World Championship. New partners Alongside the long-standing cooperations with it's team partners the Husaberg Factory Team is happy to announce two new partners who will play an important role in the teams appearance as the riding gear of all factory riders is now provided by Shot and the rider's helmets are provided by Scorpion Exo.
