Lista Infortuni: HIMX

L’elenco degli infortunati per la gara di Hawkstone Park

Published

The deal of the day on 24MX.

Inanellando innumerevoli giri di allenamento durante la stagione invernale, c’è ovviamente il rischio che un pilota possa infortunarsi. Una manciata di ragazzi ha ceduto per problemi di salute nelle ultime settimane e purtroppo mancherà quindi l’annuale Hawkstone International, ma ci sono alcuni piloti che hanno trovato la forza di tornare per la gara sulla sabbia. Chi è presente all’evento? Guarda la lista qui sotto.

In per Hawkstone Park

Arminas Jasikonis: Arminas Jasikonis ha avuto un inizio turbolento con Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing. Dopo essere caduto nel primo round degli Internazionali d’Italia ed essersi ferito a una gamba, ha perso il secondo round ed è tornato a Mantova, dove caduto di nuovo. Jasikonis sarà al cancello di partenza di Hawkstone Park questo fine settimana.

Martin Barr: Martin Barr si è un dito rotto al debutto con il team Crescent Yamaha, che era al round di apertura dell’Arenacross Tour a Belfast, ma ora è tornato al suo programma regolare. Barr ha un weekend impegnativo davanti a lui, perché correrà il sesto round del AX Tour sabato sera e poi affronterà l’Hawkstone International domenica.

Out per Hawkstone Park

Jeffrey Herlings: Jeffrey Herlings sarebbe stata la più grande star di Hawkstone Park, proprio come lo era un anno fa, ma un infortunio al piede in gennaio lo ha costretto a restare in panchina. Al momento non ci sono previsioni per il suo recupero, anche se sembra sicuro che salterà il round di apertura del Campionato Mondiale FIM di Motocross 2019 in Argentina.

Glenn Coldenhoff: Glenn Coldenhoff ha subito un orribile incidente a novembre che gli ha compresso tre vertebre della schiena, oltre a rompergli un polso. E’ straordinario che sia già tornato in sella alla sua moto, tutto sommato, ma ha ammesso di non essere pronto per correre a Hawkstone Park. Il suo status per il primo turno in Argentina è sconosciuto.

Kevin Strijbos: L’Hawkstone International sarebbe stato il primo evento per Kevin Strijbos a bordo di una Yamaha del team JWR, ma un infortunio cronico al gomito lo ha fermato. Strijbos ha subito un intervento chirurgico al gomito infortunato alla fine della stagione precedente, ma non è andato come previsto. Un altro intervento chirurgico è avvenuto la scorsa settimana, quindi ci si aspetta che stia fuori dalle sei alle otto settimane.

Graeme Irwin: Era risaputo che Graeme Irwin stava soffrendo dopo aver subito un grave infortunio al polso durante l’ultimo round del Campionato Mondiale FIM di Motocross 2018, ma nessuno era preparato per le notizie che sono arrivate all’inizio di questa settimana. Irwin si è ritirato dalle corse professionistiche e, di conseguenza, non correrà l’Hawkstone International.

BREAKING NEWS: Nora Pro Championship dates released

Published

on

Just in. The dates have been selected for the new Nora Pro Championship for 2024. Whilst there are no surprises that there were going to be clashing it still allows riders to race on a Saturday and a Sunday if they want to ride two championships. The good news we hear is the prize fund is substantial and if facts are correct the biggest prize fund in European Motocross. More information will be released this week. PR Below.

We are pleased to announce the dates agreed for the 2024 championship. As you can imagine this was extremely difficult and we had to take some time to deliberate because we didn’t want to clash with the Bridgestone Championship as this will act as the feeder series to the Pro Championship, the Dirtstore British Championship, the Nora British Cup, and some European EMX races. Whilst taking all these into account it didn’t leave many dates available, and unfortunately, there will be clashes with other series including the Fastest 40. However, with the Fastest 40 running their Pro group on a Saturday and the Nora Pro Championship on Sunday only, we hope this helps.

The dates will be as follows:

24th March 2024 – UK

21st April 2024 – UK

12th May 2024 – Europe

28th July 2024 – UK

25th August – Europe

8th September – UK

Tracks will be released over the next two weeks as contracts are completed. The UK tracks have been agreed and as mentioned in a previous release there will be a brand new UK motocross track that no one has used, a great step in the right direction when so many tracks are being closed.

A huge thank you for the support and feedback that we have received already and we are taking that into account. We believe in open communication so we will explain every decision openly to offer clarity.

We are working very hard behind the scenes and are implementing everything to make this championship one of the most professional in Europe. Our only goal is to raise the bar of British motocross.

New website, title sponsor, tracks, European races, partners, features, teams and riders will be released over the coming weeks.

BREAKING NEWS: New Championship for the UK & Europe

Published

on

We are pleased to release the news that a new championship will start in 2024 with a brand new UK track and offering riders the opportunity to race in Europe for two rounds. The Championship will have title sponsorship that will be announced in the next few weeks and will run under the fastest-growing federation in world motocross, NORA92, who bring with them a wealth of experience.

The Championship will offer the biggest prize money fund for riders in the UK and Europe and work with the Bridgestone championship in creating a pyramid system so riders can progress from youth to professional. With Nora92 already investing heavily into an exciting youth program to support ten youth riders in the UK, everyone involved is working to grow motocross in the UK, reward pro riders and offer a path of progression.

Another new track will join Oakhanger, Oxford Moto Parc and Monster Mountain, and this will increase in 2025 with the addition of further new tracks and facilities, once again focusing on growing the sport in the UK. World-class track builders Alfie Smith and Justin Barclay will create some outstanding tracks, so expect exceptional racing throughout the series.

Every round will be available through a live stream with high-end production, including a studio show, live pit reporting, and teams and riders featured through pre-recorded videos and live from the track. Riders, teams and brands will get maximum exposure when participating in the series with a focus on growing their following. It doesn’t stop there. The series has a media partnership with MX Vice and Planet Motocross (Netherlands & Belgium) to stream each round across their social media channels, with more media to follow.

Race service companies supporting riders and teams are welcome to come to each round and will be in a designated area in the pits to service their customers for free. Rider coaches, media professionals and partners are welcome at all events and must contact us for free accreditation. As well as a Championship for enthusiasts and fans, the Championship is very much for the industry to be part of. Working together in the same direction will grow the sport quicker.

Spectators can visit each round and take advantage of the series’ giant outdoor screen showing all the racing, along with positions and the studio show when racing is not live. Expect clean toilets, bins, and refreshments at affordable prices to offer a pleasant environment for the family.

Dates will be released shortly with the names of the tracks the Championship will be racing in Europe. Setup will be on Saturday, and racing will be on Sunday at every round.
