David Braceras: 2023 F&H Kawasaki deal for MX2 world championship
By Press Release on 29th Sep 22
David Braceras will ride for the Netherlands-based F&H Kawasaki team in 2023, competing on the new KX250 in the MX2 class of the FIM Motocross World Championship.
Already a formidable force in the EMX250 series and with valuable experience in the competitive cauldron of MX2 the 19-year-old from Guardamar del Segura near Alicante steps up to the highly experienced F&H Kawasaki team for the coming season.
Braceras will have the latest KX250 under him across a highly structured winter training regime in his native Spain, Sardinia and at selected tracks and varying track surfaces across northern Europe, making him ready for a full-on assault for podium honours in 2023.
"Signing with F&H Kawasaki is like a dream come true," said the talented Spanish rider. "Making the step to MX2 World Championship in an Official Kawasaki MX2 team is a big opportunity, and I will make the most of it.
"I already tested the bike in Holland, and it's a rocket; for sure, I need some time to get used to the handling characteristics, but we have enough time for that this winter.
"The team is super professional, they take care of all little details that makes the difference. I really want to start the pre-season together with the team and Marc de Reuver and prepare myself 100 per cent to make my rookie year an unforgettable year together with F&H and Kawasaki."
Team manager Nathalie Fase said: "We are very happy with the signing of David! "A talented young man that we will be getting this winter ready for the big work in the MX2 GP class. We are confident that he can give us some nice surprises in his rookie year and will do everything to make our first year together a success.
"His training and testing phase starts this week and we can't wait for the rest of the winter. The first tests looked good and we are looking forward to go for it with Kawasaki!"
