/in /by

The JM Honda Racing team made a strong start in the Dutch Masters of Motocross. On Sunday, David Braceras and Noel Zanocz lined up at the first round in Harfsen, finishing in second and fourth place, respectively.

With many riders confirming their participation in the event, the training sessions were split into two groups. Braceras and Zanocz were both in the first group. The track was still fast during the practice, but both riders adapted well to the conditions. After several fast laps, Braceras set the third-fastest time, while Zanocz finished fifth in the session.

In the first moto, it was Braceras who made an excellent start and began the race in the top three. In the early stages, he dropped to fourth place, but he kept up a strong pace and regained third place after a few laps. He rode consistently for the remainder of the moto and finished in a solid third position. Zanocz came back strong, coming from outside the top twenty to finish in seventh place.

In the second moto, Braceras grabbed the holeshot and held onto the lead for the early stages. However, he gradually dropped to second and eventually third. Braceras completed another strong race and, just like in the first moto, finished in third place. Zanocz had a better start this time and was able to begin the race in around tenth place. Riding steadily, he moved up to finish in fifth place, securing fourth overall for the day.

With two third-place finishes, Braceras finished a strong second overall for the day. Next weekend, the team will compete in the fourth round of the MX2 World Championship in Riola Sardo, Sardinia.

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.

This year’s Argentine Grand Prix was held at a new location. The Cordoba circuit was beautiful and clear, with thousands of spectators lining the track to witness the first Grand Prix of the season. After needing some time to get used to the track on Saturday, Braceras started off well in the qualification heat. In the early stages, he was running in the top ten until he had a small crash, which pushed him back outside the top twenty. Braceras gave it his all for the remainder of the heat and managed to finish in seventeenth place.

On Sunday morning, it rained in Cordoba, and the track turned into a wet, muddy surface. It was crucial to get a good start, which Braceras did in the first moto. He was up front and rode a consistent race, earning a strong fourth place finish!

In the second moto, he also got a good start but unfortunately crashed, which left him to battle back from last place. Giving it his all, he managed to gain several positions and finished in seventeenth place.

In the overall standings for the day, Braceras finished in twelfth place. The World Championship will continue in two weeks in Cozar, Spain, and hopefully, Brent van Doninck will also be back in action.
