Despite to become the 2024 EMX125 and World Junior champion, Noel Zanocz was a free agent as he didn´t re-sign with Fantic Factory. But the young Hungarian finally has found a team for the 2025 EMX250 season, as he signed with JM Honda to start this new chapter.

In addition to Zanocz, Brent van Doninck and David Braceras also ride for the team. This completes the line-up for the 2025 season.

Zanocz launched his 2024 EMX125 campaign in spectacular fashion, securing his first-ever moto and overall victory in the challenging sands of Riola Sardo, Sardinia. With blistering speed and a relentless fighting spirit, he quickly established himself as a dominant force in the class, maintaining the championship leader’s red plate for most of the season.

Zanocz claimed a second GP victory in Latvia and consistently delivered strong performances in any conditions, adding four more podium finishes in Portugal, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Heading into the final round at the MXGP of Castilla La Mancha just six points behind the leader, the 17-year-old Hungarian took the lead in the virtual standings with a stunning victory in race 1 on Saturday. Crossing the finish line in second in race 2, he clinched the title like a true champion, also securing the overall win at the GP of Castilla La Mancha.

Team owner Jacky Martens:

“I am happy that we have signed Noel. He is a great talent and can bring many great things next year and in the future. With the arrival of Zanocz, the line-up is complete for the 2025 season and the preparation can begin. The entire team is very much looking forward to it and ready to get to work.”
