Husqvarna joins forces with Craig Anderson

The Paul Feeney Group is pleased to announce that the Craig Anderson Berry Sweet Husqvarna Racing team will contest the 2010 National Moto cross series along with the 2010 Super X series.

The multiple national Motocross champion will not only manage the team but also challenge for his 13th Pro Open national title on the Husqvarna TC 450 supported by relative new comer Matt Ryan competing in the national lites class on the all new TC 250 X-Light and, if pre season testing results are a guide, the duo look set to become a very competitive force for the 2010 motocross season.

With more than 15 years at the senior level and 12 national titles to his name, Craig has the knowledge and experience to ensure both Craig Anderson Berry Sweet Husqvarna Racing and the Husqvarna brand achieve their goals for 2010.

Additional support for the team will be provided by Link International supplying Motul oils, Pirelli tyres, RK chains and Ferodo pads. Craig and his team will be decked out in Pro Grip riding gear and Helmets from John Titman Racing.

"Running my own team has been a goal for some years now and I am really looking forward to the challenge. We have a strong team with Matt Ryan in the lites and Luke Jones as our race technician along with Katrina (Craig's Wife) is taking care of the press information and the day to day administration and coordination of the team. It's been a long time coming and it is coming together really well.

I am really looking forward to this year's racing and we have spent the past months focusing on bike setup to ensure that we are in the hunt from the start. Expectations are always high and the team has been working really hard and I will be giving it my best shot for the championship" said Craig.
