Noel Zanocz Scores Strong Results in EMX250 in Switzerland

/in , /by

Noel Zanocz of the JM Racing Honda team delivered a solid performance during the fourth round of the EMX250 Championship in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, strengthening his position in the title chase.

After a crash at the start of the first moto, Zanocz fought his way back from last place to finish fifth. With the championship leader failing to finish, Zanocz gained valuable points. In the second moto, he secured fourth place, which also earned him fourth overall for the day.

Zanocz now shares second place in the championship standings, just 2 points behind the leader.

For David Braceras, it was a challenging Grand Prix in the MX2 class. He struggled to find his rhythm on Saturday. Despite this, he got off to a great start in the qualifying heat, but two early crashes pushed him far back in the field. Braceras kept fighting all the way to the finish but had to settle for 18th place.

Both motos were held on Monday. The first moto started off with misfortune, as Braceras was involved in a crash just after the start and had to work his way forward from the back. Throughout the race, he managed to gain several positions, and despite not riding his fastest moto, he still finished 16th.

After a poor start in the second moto, he crossed the finish line in 13th place, giving him 14th overall in the Grand Prix — which is also his current position in the World Championship standings.

This coming Saturday, the JM Racing Honda team will be on the starting line at the second round of the Dutch Masters of Motocross in Oldebroek.

David Braceras shows promising speed in Arco di Trento

/in /by

David Braceras of JM Racing Honda showcased strong speed during the fifth round of the MX2 World Championship in Arco di Trento, Italy.
In the week leading up to the race, Braceras and the team made significant progress with the bike setup, which gave him added confidence heading into the weekend. He started off strong by securing sixth place in time practice. He also delivered a solid performance in the qualifying heat, battling well in the pack. Although he wasn’t able to make up positions, he finished 13th and looked ahead to Sunday with confidence.

In the first moto, Braceras got off to a great start and held sixth and seventh position for a long time. Toward the end of the race, he lost some focus, which led to a few small mistakes. As a result, he dropped a few spots and finished in 11th place.

In the second moto, his start wasn’t as good, but he made a strong comeback and once again crossed the line in 11th place.

David Braceras commented: “It was a solid weekend, but I can’t be satisfied with this. I had the speed to finish higher. We’ll stay positive and keep working on the weak points so I can be stronger in the upcoming races.”

Noel Zanocz had a tough weekend in the EMX250 class. While he showed good speed, poor starts and crashes prevented him from achieving the results he was aiming for, finishing 7th and 19th. Despite this, he still holds second place in the championship standings after three rounds.

Brent van Doninck attempted a comeback but realized on Saturday that he was still experiencing too much discomfort in his upper leg. As a result, he decided not to race on Sunday.

JM Racing Honda will line up again next weekend for the next Grand Prix in Switzerland.

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 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.
