Amandine VERSTAPPEN will try to renew her title of French champion but also and especially will aim at a final podium in the World Championship.
Quentin PRUGNIERES after a year of learning (youngest rider in the 250cc category – 16 years old) will line up at the Enduro du Touquet Junior next January and will see his ambitions increase both in French and European championship.
He will be supported by the young English rider of 18 years Eddie WADE who will have for objective to be a podium rider in the EMX250 class and contest for the title in the French Elite championship. Eddie is a talented rider, he was world champion in 85cc a few seasons ago and more recently in 2021 on the podium of a stage of the Spanish championship. The new comer will take up residence in Hossegor early next year.
The final word for Stéphane Dassé: “You will notice that the COENEN brothers are no longer part of our team. Despite an exceptional season crowned with numerous successes both in France and abroad, they have decided in the last few days to take a new direction. It is a choice independent of our as we strongly wished to continue the adventure with them. Our team is now looking forward to the 2022 season that we are impatiently waiting for… Until then, we will go to the USA at the end of the year with Quentin PRUGNIERES where we will compete in a one week race mixing Motocross and Supercross in California (Bakersfield). You will soon have news about us and the US trip thanks to the daily broadcast of episodes on our Youtube channel, Stay tuned!
