PRO RIDE Juha Salminen’s<br />

JUHA SAlMINEN is no stranger to<br />

winning, and there is little doubt that<br />

he is one of the best off-road riders in<br />

the world today. The “Flying Finn” has<br />

had a challenging last few years, but it is<br />

little surprise to see him back on top with<br />

another Enduro World Championship<br />

on his CH Racing Monster Energy<br />

Husqvarna <strong>TE250</strong>!<br />

Salminen’s championship marked the<br />

second World Enduro title for Husqvarna<br />

in 2011, as Antoine Meo topped the<br />

prestigious Enduro 2 division at the<br />

previous round aboard a TE310.<br />

“It’s great to have won another title, and<br />

to be a part of what has been a fantastic<br />

season for Husqvarna,” said Salminen.<br />

“Everyone on the team has put in a huge<br />

amount of effort this year and that’s been<br />

rewarded with two world titles. It’s been<br />

a fantastic season and it feels great to be<br />

world champion again.”<br />

“In the U.S., the <strong>TE250</strong> is a dual-purpose<br />

bike, but the European-spec <strong>TE250</strong> is<br />

most closely related to our TXC250,”<br />

explained Husqvarna Product and<br />

Racing Manager Derek Sorenson. “A lot<br />

of the research and development for our<br />

250cc cross-country four-stroke come<br />

straight from the CH Racing team, and<br />

we obviously couldn’t have a better<br />

team for the task. Juha has helped us<br />

bring the Husqvarna marquee back to<br />

where it belongs – on top of the podium<br />

in the world’s most prestigious off-road<br />

championship.”<br />
