After several years of collaboration, JM Racing is set to part ways with Honda at the conclusion of the 2025 season. The Belgian-based team, run by former World Champion Jacky Martens, has enjoyed success across multiple classes in recent years and currently fields Brent van Doninck in MXGP, Noel Zanocz in EMX250, and David Braceras in MX2.
While the future remains uncertain, Martens is already looking ahead to a fresh chapter with a new manufacturer as he aims to keep JM Racing competing at the sharp end of Grand Prix motocross.
You can read the official press release via MXVice below:
JM Racing will take its own path starting from the 2026 season. In recent years, the team has worked together with Honda, but this partnership will come to an end after the current Grand Prix season.
This year, the team is competing with Brent van Doninck in the MXGP class, where he regularly secures solid top-ten finishes. In the EMX250 Championship, they are currently second with Noel Zanocz, and David Braceras has already collected several top-ten results in the MX2 class.
What the future holds for JM Racing is still uncertain at this point, but team owner Jacky Martens is motivated to pursue a new direction and to work with a different manufacturer in order to remain active at the highest level!
Fingers crossed the team can gain support from another manufacturer so they can remain in the paddock for the 2026 season and beyond.
