/in /by

JM Racing Honda and Brent van Doninck will continue their partnership in 2025. Together they have already shown good things in the last two seasons, but due to injuries the end goal has not yet been reached.

Van Doninck and JM Racing Honda hope to end the season in strong fashion at the Spanish Grand Prix and will then start preparing for the new year.

Commented Jacky Martens, owner JM Racing Honda: “I am happy that we have been able to extend the contract with Brent. He has already brought a lot of good things to our team and we hope to be able to add to this next year. Due to his injury at the beginning of this year, he missed a lot of races but he has come back strong and we want to keep this positive trend towards next year. He is regularly in the top ten of the MXGP class and our goal is that he will be a permanent rider in the top ten.”

Brent van Doninck moet noodgedwongen afmelden voor MXGP China

/in /by

Brent van Doninck van JM Racing Honda zal aankomend weekend niet deelnemen aan de MXGP van China. Bij terug komst in België is vastgesteld dat Van Doninck corona heeft waardoor hij niet mag vliegen.

Voor van Doninck en het JM Racing Honda team is dit een flinke domper omdat het materiaal al in China is en de vluchten en de hotels geboekt zijn.

Het zit van Doninck momenteel niet mee in het wereldkampioenschap. Na een sterke terugkeer in het kampioenschap met goede resultaten moest van Doninck onlangs in Zwitserland de wedstrijd overslaan na een val bij de start in de kwalificatieheat. Het afgelopen weekend kon hij zijn draai niet vinden in Turkije en nu moet hij de wedstrijd in China aan zich voorbij laten gaan. Wanneer van Doninck er weer bovenop is, zal hij zich gaan voorbereiden op de laatste Grand Prix van het seizoen in Spanje!

Maximilian Werner sixth in EMX250 Turkey

/in , /by

Maximilian Werner of the JM Racing Honda team finished sixth in the penultimate round of the EMX250 Championship in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey. Werner crossed the finish line in ninth place in the first moto but did even better in the second moto with a sixth place.

Werner immediately had a good feeling on the track. This ensured that he managed to set a good sixth time in time training, which was his best result in time training so far. Motivated, he started preparing for the first moto. He didn’t get a good start but managed to quickly work his way up to sixth place in the early stages. He then attacked the rider in front of him but couldn’t get by him. He took over the speed of the rider in front of him and this resulted in him starting to make mistakes. Werner lost several positions and eventually finished ninth.

Before the second moto, Werner suffered a major setback. He crashed heavily in the sighting lap and it was unclear whether he would be able to ride. Werner decided to ride anyway and surprisingly managed to take the lead. He was riding a good race and managed to cross the finish line in sixth place.

With a 9-6 in the motos, Werner finished in sixth place in the day’s classification. In the standings of the EMX250 Championship he has climbed to seventh place.

Brent van Doninck had a difficult weekend in the MXGP class. The whole weekend he couldn’t get the right feeling and therefore didn’t get any further than twentieth and fifteenth place.
