Triple Swedish women’s champion Natalie Kane will join up with Frida Ostlund in the Swedish Honda team to complete in the Woman’s world championship in a two-year deal. The team will also race some Swedish enduro rounds and coach at the Honda MX Academy

Ulster-based Kane, five-times British champ and a former runner-up in the world championship, missed the start of the 2016 world championship due to injuries.

“I’m thrilled to be back at Honda with Honda Sweden, and a two-year deal is more than I expected. There will also be lots of fun to team up with Frida and I think we can push each other hard and hopefully get good results.”
