Official: Nicolai Skovbjerg signs with SixtySeven Racing

Danish motocross talent Nicolai Skovbjerg has officially signed with SixtySeven Racing for the remainder of the 2026 season, following his departure from MX-Handel Husqvarna Racing. The move comes as a response to SixtySeven Racing’s need to replace Scott Smulders, who has been sidelined due to injury. Skovbjerg, a standout competitor in this year’s EMX250 championship, will now race under the SixtySeven banner, focusing on both the EMX250 Championship and the ADAC Youngster Cup, where he remains a strong contender as the season approaches its decisive stages. Skovbjerg’s transfer represents a strategic boost for SixtySeven Racing, aiming to maintain their competitive edge despite Smulders’ absence. For the rider, the switch offers a fresh platform to build on his impressive form and further his development in a new team environment. His debut is set for the upcoming weekend at Tensfeld, where expectations are high for him to quickly adapt and contribute valuable points to his new team’s championship ambitions. Both Skovbjerg and SixtySeven Racing have expressed optimism about the partnership. The rider conveyed enthusiasm about joining the team and starting his campaign immediately, while team owner Markus Weinbuch highlighted their commitment to supporting Skovbjerg’s growth and helping him maximise his potential. The team’s focus is not only on performance but also on ensuring the rider remains injury-free as he navigates the remainder of the season. This signing underscores the dynamic nature of the EMX250 and ADAC Youngster Cup championships, where teams must adapt swiftly to unforeseen challenges such as injuries. Skovbjerg’s arrival at SixtySeven Racing could prove pivotal in shaping the outcomes of both series, as he aims to capitalise on his strong season form and the support of a new team. The coming races will be crucial in determining how effectively this new partnership can deliver results under pressure.
