Currently third in the MXGP class of the 2016 FIM Motocross World Championship aboard his FC 450, in 2017 Max Nagl will compete in the MXGP championship for a third season on Husqvarna machinery.
MXGP championship leader during the first nine rounds of the 2015 season, Max held a 30-point lead before injury at his home GP curtailed his championship aspirations. This year Max has secured no fewer than 14 top three moto finishes with race wins in Argentina, The Czech republic and Belgium.
Nagl currently sits third in the 2017 MXGP championship with four rounds remaining, just 14 points behind Italian Antonio Cairoli.
Antti Pyrh̦nen ‰ÛÒ Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team Manager - said, ‰ÛÏContinuing to work with Max is something I‰Ûªm extremely pleased about. Together we‰Ûªve experienced so much during the last 18 months, with Max showing enormous amounts of professionalism at all times. In recent GPs he has shown what he is really capable of. Everyone knows just how fast and talented a rider he is and I believe that next year he will again be a regular podium finisher, challenging for GP wins and the MXGP title.‰Û
