Silly season is rolling along in Europe, as Liam Everts, son of ten-time world champion Stefan Everts and the grandson of four-time world champion Harry Everts, is moving from Red Bull KTM to Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing for the 2025 MX2 season.
Everts, who turned pro in MX2 in 2021, finished fourth overall in the championship in 2024. He will paired alongside reigning MX2 World Champion Kay de Wolf.
The move from KTM to Husqvarna (both owned by Pierer Mobility AG) comes as the Coenen brothers, Lucas and Sacha, have signed with the Davide De Carli Red Bull KTM team.
#26 – Liam Everts: “I’m super happy to join Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing – they’re a great group of people, and it’s an exciting new challenge. I’ve spent a lot of time with them in the past, so I feel really good about this move. My motivation to take on a fresh challenge is really high; I definitely needed a change. We both want to win – that’s the ultimate goal. We want to become world champions. We’ll see how everything goes with me coming back from injury, but we’ll take it step by step and see what the speed is like once I’m back on the bike. This opportunity also felt like the perfect time to change my race number – new team, new colors, new number! After the accident, a lot changed, and now it felt like the right time to start something of my own. My family has been super supportive. It feels like an exciting, fresh chapter in my career!”
Rasmus Jorgensen – Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Team Manager: “We’re super excited to have Liam join the Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing team. His talent, dedication, and strong work ethic make him a perfect fit for our program. With the unfortunate injury he sustained in China, the first and only priority right now is to get him back on the bike without any limitations whatsoever. With Kay [de Wolf], the reigning MX2 World Champion, as his teammate, we’re confident that this duo will continue to push themselves, each other, and our team forward, ultimately creating an exciting dynamic that will bring us great highlights in 2025! Let’s go TEAM!”
