Vamo Honda Racing Team announce strengthened 2018 MXGP setup
- Two CRF250Rs for De Waal and Weltin
- Continue with No Fear Energy Drink
- Welcome new partner Jumbo
Vamo #Hondaracing Team will enter two riders aboard the new 2018 #Honda CRF250R in the MX2 category of the FIM Motocross World Championship (MXGP) in 2018. Dutchman #michaboydewaal continues with the team and is joined by new American signing #marshalweltin.
Also continuing with the team into next season is sponsor No Fear, who expand their partnership through their energy drink brand and will appear on bikes, team collateral and rider clothing. Bolstering the team’s 2018 campaign is another new signing as sponsor Jumbo, the Dutch supermarket giant who themselves are no stranger to motocross, join the team.
De Waal originally joined the team in 2017 as a stand-in rider to replace Lars Van Berkel when he in turn made a stand-in appearance at Team HRC. The 22-year-old rode the #Honda CRF450R for the previous two years in the Dutch Masters series so is no stranger to #Honda, and has also enjoyed a long-standing relationship both with No Fear and Jumbo. Having had 12 rounds with the #vamo #Hondaracing team in 2017 on the CRF250R, De Waal starts 2018 with a solid foundation upon which to build within a strongly established team structure.
Lining up alongside De Waal is #Honda newcomer #marshalweltin who makes the switch to the new CRF250R for 2018. The 22-year-old rode in both the EMX250 and MX2 series in 2017, finishing 6th in the highly competitive EMX250 series with an overall podium in Portugal and narrowly missing a second to Honda’s Mathys Boisrame in Switzerland. His performances earned him an MX2 wildcard in the Czech Republic, where he finished an impressive ninth overall.
The MX2 season gets underway at the #mxgp of Argentina on 3-4 March 2018, ahead of which the team have a busy testing and training schedule to arrive to South America ready to fight.
