Noel Zanocz Claims Second Consecutive Podium Finish in EMX250 France 

/in , /by

Noel Zanocz of the JM Racing Honda team secured his second consecutive podium finish in the EMX250 Championship. In Saint-Jean-d’Angély, France, Zanocz finished third in the overall standings.

During the time practice, Zanocz struggled to find the right rhythm. Despite his efforts, he could only achieve the fifth-fastest time in his group.

At the start of the first race, he didn’t get off the line well and began in eighteenth place. With solid lap times, he worked his way forward and managed to finish in fifth place. The start of the second race was better, and this time he came out of the first corner in sixth place. He quickly made up positions and moved into second. However, a small mistake caused him to drop back to third, and that’s where he finished.

With a 5-3 result in the races, Zanocz ended up in third place in the overall standings for the day. This marks his second consecutive podium finish.

After two rounds, he is in third place in the championship standings.

David Braceras had a solid Saturday, finishing twelfth in the qualifying heat. This placed him just outside the top ten, and he looked back on Saturday with satisfaction.

After a good start in the first race, he held onto ninth place until he fell. After the fall, he had no front brake and unfortunately couldn’t adapt to this issue. Disappointed, he finished in eighteenth place.

In the second race, he made a strong recovery and finished tenth. With these results, he ended the day in sixteenth place in the overall standings and is now in seventeenth place in the championship.

The next Grand Prix is scheduled in Sardinia in two weeks.

Noel Zanocz Second in EMX250 Spain

/in , /by

Noel Zanocz from the JM Racing Honda team has made a strong start to the EMX250 Championship in Cozar, Spain. Zanocz finished fourth in the first race and came in second in the second race, securing a second-place finish in the overall standings for the day.

Heavy rain had fallen in Cozar, making the conditions tough and muddy. Zanocz started the day strongly by setting a very fast lap time in the time practice, securing pole position. The difference to the second-place rider was almost two seconds, giving Zanocz confidence as he looked forward to the first race.

In the first race, he didn’t get a good start but made a strong comeback. Riding in fourth place, he attacked the second and third-place riders, but after making a few mistakes in the final stages, he ultimately had to settle for fourth.

The start of the second race was better, and this time he came out of the first corner in around sixth place. In the early stages, he lost a few positions, but then began his comeback, eventually finishing in third. With a 4-3 result in the races, Zanocz finished second in the overall standings for the day.

David Braceras had a difficult home Grand Prix. On Saturday, he struggled to find his rhythm, but started the first race on Sunday with renewed optimism. He managed to finish in twelfth place, earning important points. However, things went wrong for Braceras at the start of the second race. On the starting grid, he experienced wheel spin, which caused him to keep the throttle open longer into the first corner. In doing so, he collided with another rider and crashed. Braceras injured himself in the fall and was unable to continue. Fortunately, he did not suffer any injuries and will be ready to hunt for championship points again at the next Grand Prix in France next weekend.

Brent van Doninck close of scoring a top ten position in Spain

/in , /by

Brent van Doninck of the JM Racing Honda team has come close to a top ten place during the last round of the MXGP World Championship in Cozar, Spain. Van Doninck had a difficult first moto in which he failed to score, but he came back strong in the second moto and then crossed the finish flag in eleventh place.

In the first moto, van Doninck got a good start but was pushed wide in the first corner. To make matters worse, he crashed during the first lap and hurt his hand and thumb. Van Doninck continued on his way but crashed again later in the moto and was then so far behind that scoring points was no longer an option.

In the second moto he got his revenge. He was in a battle with Maxime Renaux for ninth place for a long time. He rode a strong moto but was passed by Jan Pancar in the closing stages and eventually crossed the finish line in eleventh place.

After his zero score in the first moto, Van Doninck still finished in fourteenth place in the day’s classification. Max Werner rode the last race of the EMX250 Championship in Spain. In the first moto it didn’t go well. He struggled with arm pump and couldn’t find his feet on the track. Because he couldn’t hold on to the bike well, there was no more in it than a fourteenth place.

In the second moto it went better. He got a good start and rode the entire race in fourth place. With these results he finished in seventh place in the general classification and in the final standings of the championship he finished eighth.

Brent van Doninck will now prepare for the MX of Nations in Matterley Basin, Great Britain where he will defend the colours of Team Belgium.

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.

Max Werner scores third place in EMX250 Switzerland

/in , /by

JM Racing Honda’s Max Werner finished third in the penultimate round of the EMX250 Championship in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. Werner managed to achieve this position in the second moto after he was classified 33rd in the first moto due to dehydration.

It was really hot on Saturday and this made it tough for the riders. The track was dry and fast. After Werner had managed to set a thirteenth time on the clock in time practice, he did not a good start in the first moto. He had to work his way back to the front from around twentieth place. This went well and before the middle of the race he was already in twelfth place. He kept the pace high until he overheated and had to drop the pace. Werner was no longer able to ride normally and lost a lot of positions. He finally was classified in 33rd position.

After the moto, Werner immediately went to the medical post to be treated. Fortunately, he slowly recovered and was able to ride in the second moto on Sunday morning. Due to the heavy rainfall in the night from Saturday to Sunday, the conditions were completely different. The track had become muddy and very treacherous.

Werner took the lead in the second moto and led the field after the start. In the early stages he dropped back to third place but was riding a very strong race and managed to hold on well. Werner crossed the finish line in third and scored a lot of important points.

Due to his zero score in the first moto, he had to settle for eleventh place in the day’s classification. He is now ninth in the EMX250 Championship standings.

Brent van Doninck had a setback in Switzerland. He crashed at the start of the qualifying heat and suffered a concussion. He also suffers a lot from a bolt in his foot, which was put in during his foot fracture earlier this year. Van Doninck will have surgery on in the short term so that he can resume training soon without any problems.
