Renowned Australian motocross coaching specialists, Motodevelopment, have this week joined forces with Husqvarna Australia, in a move which will allow both brands to expand their commitment to motocross and off-road rider development.

Led by former motocross professionals Chris Urquhart and Shane Booth, Motodevelopment Husqvarna Motocross Training will provide highest-quality coaching around the country, showing the way aboard 2017 model FC450 Husqvarnas.

According to Husqvarna national brand manager, Jon Hafey, the relationship between premium brands, Motodevelopment and Husqvarna, is a perfect fit.

“Motodevelopment are known throughout the industry as premium providers of motocross coaching, and Husqvarna is a premium brand, so the boys are a fantastic fit,” said Hafey. “When this opportunity arose we were very interested in working towards our respective goals with them.”

Husqvarna Australia, a keen investor in young and emerging Australian motocross and off-road racing talent, will work alongside Motodevlopment in order for both brands to meet their goals.

“We’re looking forward to watching Motodevelopment Husqvarna Motocross Training expand onto the national stage,” he added. “It’s a collaboration which will allow us to meet Husqvarna’s strategic goals while providing Chris and Shane the opportunity to grow as they’ve always wanted, which is great for all of us.”

Motodevelopment’s most high-profile successes have involved their Moto Master Classes and their 2015 coaching collaboration with American motocross icons Ricky Carmichael, Jeff Emig and Jeff Stanton.
