A strong programme for Bud in 2016
By Team TMX on 13th Dec 15
Team Bud Racing Monster Energy Kawasaki will again have a strong program for next season; no less than seven riders will represent the team and its partners in 2016, participating in a wealth of series in both Europe and the United States
Having won the French Motocross Championships in all three classes in 2015 with Xavier Boog (MX1), Maxime Desprey (MX2) and Brian Moreau (young hopefuls), Bud Racing Monster Energy will again have a huge programme in France with five riders.
The three French champions, with Desprey joining Boog in MX1 and Moreau advancing to the 125cc series, will again contest the French series together with Nicolas Dercourt in MX2 and a newcomer, Thibault Benistant who will be the 85cc rider in France.
Both Thibault and Spaniard David Braceras aim to follow in the footsteps of Musquin, Ferrandis and Moreau, each of whom won this class with Bud Racing Kawasaki.
The other great news is the US programme of Team Bud Racing Monster Energy Kawasaki, as two riders will enter the 250 West Coast Supercross series: young American Darian Sanayei joins the team alongside Maxime Desprey, and later in the year he will contest the European 250 Championship.
Last summer Darian already won one moto of this series in Great Britain, the only round he contested; the American kid will race all the rounds alongside Nicolas Dercourt, the French youngster who is currently recovering from his knee injury.
With seven riders involved in ten different championships, the team will face a busy year, and the team welcomes two new members of staff: Thierry Van Den Bosch (former MX rider and multiple Supermoto World Champion) and Supercross legend David Vuillemin are the new trainers on each continent as Jacky Vimond takes on a fresh challenge.
