With a fresh race number, 26, and a new chapter ahead, Liam Everts is set to make a significant shift in his motocross career. Everts will compete on the Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing FC 250 in the 2025 MX2 season. He will join forces with reigning MX2 World Champion Kay de Wolf, forming a formidable lineup.
Hailing from Hasselt, Belgium, and aged 20, Everts is part of a storied motocross dynasty, being the son of 10-time world champion Stefan Everts and grandson of four-time world champion Harry Everts. Though this illustrious heritage has played a role in shaping his journey, Liam’s own achievements are now carving out his individual legacy.
Liam made his MX2 debut at the 2021 Grand Prix of Sardinia, quickly proving himself as a competitor to watch. The following year, in 2022, he secured a top-10 finish in the MX2 World Championship.
Continuing to build on his progress, 2023 saw Liam as a serious contender against Andrea Adamo for the world title. Unfortunately, a severe crash at the penultimate round halted his campaign, yet the year still marked a breakthrough. Everts claimed Grand Prix victories in Germany, the Netherlands and Turkey, finishing the season fourth overall in the MX2 World Championship.
In 2024, Everts won back-to-back Grand Prix races in Trentino and Portugal before an injury in China cut short his season. Now recovering and regaining his form, Everts will switch from the KTM 250 SX-F to the Husqvarna FC 250 for next year.
The Rider
Liam Everts
“I’m super happy to join Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing – they’re a great group of people, and it’s an exciting new challenge. I’ve spent a lot of time with them in the past, so I feel really good about this move. My motivation to take on a fresh challenge is really high; I definitely needed a change. We both want to win – that’s the ultimate goal. We want to become world champions. We’ll see how everything goes with me coming back from injury, but we’ll take it step by step and see what the speed is like once I’m back on the bike. This opportunity also felt like the perfect time to change my race number – new team, new colours, new number! After the accident, a lot changed, and now it felt like the right time to start something of my own. My family has been super supportive. It feels like an exciting, fresh chapter in my career!”
