After its official return to the new generation of world motocross championships in 2011, Husqvarna and Ricci Racing line up at the starting gate of the upcoming season with all the experience gained from twelve months of hard work and the results that provided invaluable input for continued collaboration in the MX2 calendar.

This year there will be three riders wearing the Husqvarna red and white on the TC250. The Italian Alessandro Lupino will be joined in his second season by Belgian Nick Triest and Frenchman Loic Larrieu.

The three, all aged 21, in addition to participating in the world MX2 championship, will also contest the four races of the Italian nationals Assoluti d'Italia and the international Valance race (France), as pre-season training for the world championships, while Loic Larrieau will also participate in all French championship races.

Lupino, who was ranked 15th in 2011 is set on making the top ten world ranking in every race and has shown himself capable of delivering this ambition.

Nick Triest is a specialist in sandy terrains, and despite an injury that prevented him from winter training, he will be in the saddle again in February to train and will participate with the team in the final two rounds of the Assoluti d'Italia of motocross.

Loic Larrieu, a late addition to the team line up, has already shown he can work well with his fellow riders and the new bike. After two years blighted by injuries Loic too is looking forward to a successful season on board the Husqvarna TC250.
