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.
