L’ex vincitore MXoN, Ken De Dycker, si unirà al suo ex Team 24MX Honda per i restanti round del Campionato del Mondo FIM MXGP. Il veterano belga farà il suo ritorno sulla CRF450R al GP della Russia, il round 9 della serie.
Era cominciato discretamente il weekend per il gigante belga in Francia, Ken, sempre intorno alla ventesima posizione durante le prove libere e cronometrate, ha concluso la gara di qualificazione del sabato 19°. Domenica De Dycker ha segnato un solo punto in gara uno, mentre si è ritirato nella seconda manche.
Ken De Dycker: “Purtroppo le cose non sono funzionate come speravo con la mia squadra precedente. È un peccato per tutti coloro che sono coinvolti, ma è così. Non vedo l’ora di correre su una moto rossa di nuovo! Damon Graulus sta andando bene ultimamente così sarà interessante per me mostrare quello che sono in grado di fare con 24MX Honda! Sono veramente contento del mio nuovo inizio con 24MX Honda Racing. Sono molto motivato a dimostrare e rimbalzarmi dopo due anni deludenti. Come ho iniziato a testare la 24MX Honda CRF450R non ho potuto fare a meno di divertirmi nel guidare la moto con un grande sorriso sul mio volto! La moto è molto facile da guidare ma è abbastanza potente. Ho qualche attività incompleta in MXGP quindi sono entusiasta di questa nuova sfida. Un grande grazie a tutti i miei fans che sono rimasti con me in questi momenti difficili! “”

Honda’s MXGP satellite team 24MX Honda Racing has reached an agreement with Belgian star Ken De Dycker.
For De Dycker, 31, it will be a highly anticipated return to the Honda CRF. The long-time Honda rider is about to compete his sixth GP season in red. With more than 175 GPs, an MX of Nations title and 15 moto wins in the top category behind his name Ken is one of the most experienced top riders currently competing in the FIM MXGP World Championship. Since 2006 the popular, lanky Belgian collected six top-five overall finishes in the series. On a national level he has British, German and Belgian MX1 titles under his belt.
De Dycker experienced a rocky 2015 season fracturing his right shoulder in the German GP and missing the rest of the MXGP season. However he proved to be fully recovered by the end of the summer leading Team Belgium to third, in what was his fifth MX of Nations podium visit. Keeno also claimed the runner-up title in the Belgian championship.
Ken De Dycker: ““Unfortunately things didn’t work out like I’d hoped with my previous team. It’s a pity for everyone involved but that’s how it is. I’m really looking forward to racing on a red bike again! Damon Graulus has been going well lately so it will be interesting for me to show what I’m capable of with 24MX Honda!” I am really happy with my new start at 24MX Honda Racing. I’m very motivated to prove myself and bounce back after two disappointing years. As I started to test the 24MX Honda CRF450R I couldn’t help but getting all excited and riding with a big grin on my face! The bike is very easy to ride yet it’s pretty powerful. I have some unfinished business in MXGP so I’m thrilled about this new challenge. A big thanks to all my fans who have stayed with me throughout these difficult times!”
Marc Boone, team principal 24MX Honda Racing: “In my opinion De Dycker is one of the most underestimated riders. Time and time again he has shown that on his day he can pull something special out of the bag. As a new team it was not only his speed that attracted us in Ken. His ability to help us further develop the bike and to guide the team are equally important. I also think his relaxed, friendly attitude and his calm determination are a great fit with the team.”
Davy Dousselaere, Honda Motor Europe off-road manager: “It’s great to be able to welcome a rider with this kind of track record and experience to the Honda family. We could see that Ken still has the hunger and drive to achieve great results. Watching him on the bike you’ll see him do things that not a lot of people can do. As a fan of the sport that’s just awesome! I’m confident that with the 24MX Honda Racing team behind him and a competitive bike he’ll have what he needs to show his full potential.”
