Noel Zanocz Battles to Third Place in EMX250 Latvia

Noel Zanocz of the JM Honda Racing team secured third place at the eighth round of the EMX250 Championship in Kegums, Latvia.

After setting the fourth fastest time in qualifying, Zanocz got off to a strong start in the first moto, emerging from the first corner in second place. Unfortunately, he experienced rear brake issues from the very beginning and lost rear brake function entirely from the fifth lap onwards. As a result, he briefly went off track. He then engaged in a good battle with Francesco Garcia but eventually had to let him go, finishing the race in fifth place.

Heavy rainfall overnight from Saturday to Sunday turned the track into a muddy challenge for the second moto. Zanocz started in fifth position but had a small crash during the first lap, dropping back to twentieth. With consistently fast lap times, he made an impressive comeback to finish in second place.

With 5-2 results in the motos, Zanocz secured third place overall for the day and remains second in the EMX250 Championship standings.

David Braceras struggled to find the right pace on Saturday. A rear brake issue during the qualifying heat limited him to a fifteenth-place finish.

After making some changes to the bike, he felt more confident on Sunday, finishing twelfth and thirteenth in the motos.

These results earned him twelfth place overall for the day, placing him seventeenth in the championship standings.

Brent van Doninck continued his upward trend from last weekend in Germany, finishing twelfth and fifteenth in the MXGP class motos.

The JM Honda Racing team has a weekend off and will head to England next for the upcoming Grand Prix!

Brent van Doninck Finishes in the Top Ten at the MXGP of Germany

Brent van Doninck of the JM Racing Honda team secured a top ten finish in one of the motos at the tenth round of the MXGP World Championship held on Sunday in Teutschenthal, Germany.

Van Doninck made a solid step forward in Germany. He rode with more confidence than in previous races, and his speed was also on point. After a strong performance in the first moto, he crossed the finish line in tenth place. In the second moto, he was once again close to the top ten. However, while running in eleventh place with three laps to go, he suffered a crash and had to settle for seventeenth.

With these results, Van Doninck finished twelfth overall on the day, marking a positive step forward.

David Braceras made some adjustments to his bike during the week leading up to the race, and these changes felt good in Germany. He qualified in thirteenth place on Saturday, which he was reasonably satisfied with. Although he knew it could have been slightly better, it motivated him to push harder on Sunday.

After a good start in the first moto, he was riding just outside the top ten early on. Unfortunately, after four laps, he lost his rear brake, which caused his pace to drop. As a result, he lost several positions and ultimately finished in twentieth place.

One hour before the second moto, heavy rain hit the track, turning the circuit into a slippery, muddy course. Braceras got off to a decent start and managed to make a few quick passes. However, he then encountered issues with his goggles, which worsened to the point where he was forced to retire from the race.

Braceras finished 23rd overall for the day and now holds 18th place in the championship standings.

Next weekend, JM Racing Honda will head to Kegums, Latvia, for the next Grand Prix.
