Craig Anderson’s Husqvarna team will field an all-new youthful combination of Aaron Tanti and Connor Tierney in the 2015 MX Nationals, continuing its position as a factory-backed team in the series.

Tanti will ride the team’s FC 350 in the premier MX1 ranks this season after contesting MXD last year, while Western Australian talent Tierney takes over the team’s title-winning TC 250 in the MXD division.

“We’ve got two riders this year,” Anderson said. “Connor Tierney will be riding for me for his fourth consecutive year and making the jump to seniors. He’s won 10 WA state titles and he’s got the talent and the speed to do some damage.

“Aaron Tanti is a young 19-year-old guy who rode MXD last year and is stepping up to MX1 this year on the Husqvarna FC 350. It’s a bike that I think suits him down to the ground and he rides it pretty well, exactly the way it’s meant to be ridden.

“He’s got good speed and he doesn’t stress out when he gets out front, so time will tell with both of them and we’ll just keep on working on their weaknesses and making them into strengths.”

Husqvarna previously announced it would be supporting a host of talented riders, including Jesse Dobson (MX1), Luke Arbon (MX2) and Nathan Crawford (MX2).
