Enjoying one of the most successful eras of its recent history, the Motorsport Department will see Diego Clement manage all Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing and factory-supported activities globally. The Switzerland native will be responsible for all of the brand’s racing activities, including its Motocross, Supercross, Enduro, Extreme Enduro, and SuperEnduro racing programs.
“I’m very happy and extremely grateful to be a part of this competition-driven company,” Clement said. “To represent Husqvarna in all off-road disciplines in Europe and the U.S. is a true honor. Combining passion with a willingness to work hard I’m looking forward to assisting Husqvarna continue winning races and title across the globe. This is really an exciting time for both Husqvarna Motorcycles and myself personally.”
Actively involved in top-level motocross racing as a racer and later as a team manager, the 26-year-old has been managing the Swiss Team at the Motocross of Nations for the last eight years. He joins the Motorsport Department having previously held Motorsports and Marketing Coordinator positions within the motorcycle industry.
In the role since February 2014, former Vice President for Husqvarna Motorsport Robert Jonas assumes a new role as Vice President of Offroad Motorsports at KTM GROUP, responsible of all Offroad activities within KTM GROUP’s Motorsport department.
“We’d like to warmly welcome Diego to the Husqvarna family,” Jonas said. “As an expert in the off-road racing segment we believe he is a perfect fit for the role of Head of the Motorsport Department. With motorsport activities being a strategic tool for the growth of the brand, we trust that Diego’s enthusiasm and experience will help our teams and riders continue their successes in all fields of motorcycle competition worldwide.”
