Nicolai Skovbjerg Joins SixtySeven Racing

Danish motocross rider Nicolai Skovbjerg has confirmed his move to SixtySeven Racing for the remainder of the 2026 season following his exit from MX-Handel Husqvarna Racing. The transition comes as SixtySeven Racing sought a replacement for Scott Smulders, who has been sidelined due to injury. Skovbjerg, recognised as one of the standout competitors in the EMX250 Championship, will now compete under the new banner while continuing to focus on both the EMX250 and the ADAC Youngster Cup, where he remains a strong contender for the title. Skovbjerg is set to make his debut with SixtySeven Racing at the upcoming Tensfeld round, marking a fresh chapter in his career. The Danish rider expressed enthusiasm about joining the team and is eager to begin competing under their guidance. His commitment to maintaining form across two championships highlights his ambition to build on his promising performances this season. Markus Weinbuch, team owner of SixtySeven Racing, emphasised the team’s dedication to supporting Skovbjerg’s development. He outlined the goal of leveraging the team’s expertise to help the rider enhance his skills and achieve consistent results, while also hoping for an injury-free continuation of the season. This partnership signals a strategic move for both Skovbjerg and SixtySeven Racing as they aim to make a significant impact in the remaining rounds. The signing of Skovbjerg not only strengthens SixtySeven Racing’s roster but also adds an experienced and competitive rider to their ranks during a crucial phase of the season. For Skovbjerg, the move presents an opportunity to capitalise on his current momentum and contend for titles in two prominent junior motocross series. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on his performances to see how this new alliance shapes his career trajectory.
