Noel Zanocz of the JM Racing Honda team has won the Supermarecross in Italy. Zanocz took victory in both heats, as well as in the superfinal.

David Braceras participated in the Dutch MX Season Opener in Lierop. The event featured a strong field of competitors, making it an ideal training race ahead of the World Championship season.

After achieving the fifth-fastest time in his group during qualifying, Braceras also finished fifth in the first heat.

Unfortunately, things went wrong for Braceras in the second heat after the start. After getting off to a third-place start, he crashed when he made contact with Kay de Wolf. Due to the crash, he had to retire from the race. Fortunately, Braceras did not suffer any injuries in the crash and will head to Argentina fit and ready for the first Grand Prix. This race is scheduled for next weekend in Cordoba.

Success and Setback for JM Racing Honda at Hawkstone Park

/in /by

The JM Racing Honda team experienced both success and setback during the international race at Hawkstone Park in the UK. David Braceras delivered a strong performance in the MX2 class, securing second place overall. However, Brent van Doninck suffered a thigh injury in the second moto of the MXGP class, forcing him to miss the first Grand Prix.

Conditions in England were favorable. Braceras started the day strong by setting the second-fastest time in MX2 qualifying, just slightly behind the fastest rider. This solid result gave him confidence heading into the motos. In the highly competitive MXGP class, Brent van Doninck qualified in eighth place and aimed to build on his form throughout the races.

Braceras put together two solid motos, finishing second in both races, which also earned him second place overall in the day’s classification.

Van Doninck, however, faced misfortune. After an early crash in the first moto, he was forced to retire. Another crash in the second moto made matters worse, as he injured the same thigh he had broken last year in Argentina. This morning, Van Doninck underwent a medical examination at the hospital, where a small fracture in his thigh was diagnosed. As a result, he will need several weeks of rest, meaning he will miss the first Grand Prix in Argentina. Van Doninck and the team are fully focused on making a return for the second Grand Prix in Spain on March 16.

Hawkstone Park MX2 Overall Results:
1. Mathis Valin – 50 pts
2. David Braceras – 44 pts
3. Bradley Mesters – 40 pts
4. Ben Mustoe – 31 pts
5. Calum Mitchell – 29 pts
