Johan Westermark (JWR Honda Racing Team Owner): “We are happy to have Davy on the team. We want a rider that know what it takes and has speed, Davy has shown speed, so he was on the short list of riders that we wanted on the team. He is talented, works hard and gives his best. He showed very good speed in MX2 before if you have been fighting for top positions you have it, and we want to work with speed. His never give up attitude is what we want from a rider, and to ride for JWR is also about having a big heart and we see that in him”.

Ashkan Aghili (24MX Marketing Manager): We are proud and happy to extend our collaboration with JWR Racing for 2022. Our collaboration with JWR Racing has been important at several levels. First and the most important part is keep supporting the sport and the community and second to have JWR Racing as part of our R&D process to keep developing the best possible products.

Patrik Erlandsson (Marketing Coordinator): This rider is perfect for the team! Davy will be great for us to work with a talented rider who knows what he wants. We will focus a lot of social-media presence and event activities to support him during the championship’s series. JWR will release a groundbreaking new media strategy for 2022 that Davy will play a big role in. I would also like to thank our loyal sponsors who will support us again.
