Jack Chambers puts in “Gritty rides” for 12th in Argentina!

Bike It Kawasaki MX2 Racing Team’s Jack Chambers opened the 2024 FIM World MX2 Motocross Championship campaign at Villa La Angostura in Argentina with twelfth overall after two gritty rides through the pack.

The young American displayed speed through the first half the first moto to surge through from twentieth leaving turn one, advancing to twelfth within five laps to pressurise the defending world champion through mid-race. He eventually lost the tow in traffic but maintained his twelfth position to the finish. The twenty-one-year-old faced another tough ride through the pack in race two after finding himself twentieth on the opening lap but, maintaining his lap times for the entire thirty-five minutes, he made the final decisive pass for eleventh on the penultimate lap. He heads to round two in Spain in two weeks’ time twelfth in the championship standings.

Jack Chambers: “Most important is that I’m healthy. This was a tough track, particularly as I’ve been riding a lot of deep sand tracks with ruts to turn on in Florida; nothing like this. I need to work on the starts; I was coming from the back in both motos. I feel my fitness is way better than last year but I haven’t raced since the Nations last October; I was just missing the race craft and felt a bit of nerves. But we have a good base moving forward. We fly to Madrid tomorrow; I’ll be ready for that one so I’ll be looking for redemption in Spain.”

Kawasaki-mounted Quentin Marc Prugnières performed admirably in the first race of his rookie GP season. The French youngster cut his way through the pack to finish ninth in the first moto and, after an excellent sixth-placed start in race two, maintained a top-ten ranking for more than half of the race before a late error pushed him back to sixteenth in moto and thirteenth overall.
