Six riders with Bud Racing

Team Bud Racing Kawasaki Monster will be racing nearly everywhere next season, as the dynamic French squad will line up six riders in ten different championships!

Once more Bud Racing bet again on young riders (as they did in the past with Marvin Musquin or Dylan Ferrandis) but also signed some top riders who will enter the European and World Championships. Alongside Meghan Rutledge and Brian Moreau who were already in the team this season, Xavier Boog, Maxime Desprey, Nicolas Dercourt and David Braceras have joined Bud Racing Kawasaki.
 
Working with young and talented riders in the European series has always been important for Kawasaki and Bud Racing; so alongside Brian Moreau winner of the 85 Cup de l’Avenir in Belgium, Bud will line up Spaniard David Braceras, winner of the 65 class in the Cup de l’Avenir and already Bud supported rider. In the European MX2 series Maxime Desprey back to Kawasaki after two learning years in the GP’s will go for the title, as well as Nicolas Dercourt (125 French champion in 2013) who will also enter the French championships (Elite Motocross and Supercross). For her third attempt in the Women World Championship, Meghan Rutledge will again be part of team Bud Kawasaki; runner up this season, the young Aussie girl will go for the title while Xavier Boog will have a complete program with the French series (MX and SX), a couple of European Grand Prix and the famous Touquet Beach Race to start the season.
 
Team Bud Racing Kawasaki Monster will be racing many series, with the following program:
 
Xavier BOOG: Enduropale du Touquet / MX Elite 450 / SX 450 + some Grand Prix
 
Maxime DESPREY: European 250 Championship / MX Elite 250 / SX 250 + some Grand Prix
 
Nicolas DERCOURT: European 250 Championship / MX Elite 250 / SX 250 + some Grand Prix
 
Brian MOREAU: European 85 Championship / FIM junior 85 World Cup / French 85cc Championship / Monster Cup Las Vegas 85
 
David BRACERAS: European 85 Championship / FIM junior 85 World Cup / Spanish 85cc Championship / Monster Cup Las Vegas 85
 
Meghan RUTLEDGE: Women World Championship
 
Xavier Boog:It was great to be back on a bike, and I was surprised to fell so comfortable on the bike, it seems that I never stopped riding a Kawasaki. I got my best results with Kawasaki, and after several months off due to my injury I have a good feeling. Now I will continue to work, in order to prepare my new challenges such as Le Touquet beach race, an event that I wanted to do since several years, or the French Motocross and Supercross series. I will do my first race late in January at le Touquet, but I’m impatient to be there!”
 
Maxime Desprey:I didn’t got so good results this season, and I’m very happy with this Bud Racing deal. I’m pumped to be back on a Kawasaki; I got great results with this bike in 2012 and we saw in the MX2 class how good is the 250 Kawasaki. I have now a strong team behind me and it will help me to start another chapter of my career in the European series, as well as being back in the French championships. I’m also very happy to work with Jacky Vimond, as I know how important it is to have such a good trainer behind us; now I just want to be as soon as possible at our first race.”
 
Jacky Vimond: “It’s always exciting to work with new riders, and in 2015 my job will be even more interesting as I’ll be working with professional riders as well as young kids that you need to train. I’m happy to continue with our young and promising Brian Moreau, who will be this winter even closer to the other riders of the team. I already start to work with them, but before thinking at 2015 we’ll continue to work in order to get good results for Bud Racing in the next Supercross.”
 
Stéphane Dasse: “We are very happy to enter our ninth year with Kawasaki, and to go ahead for another season with a complete and young team. We’ll continue to work with Brian and David, our two young 85 riders that we want to bring to the highest International level in the future, but we’ll be looking also for strong results in all the classes where we’ll be involved. In France as well as in European or World series, we want to collect some titles with our new team. Nicolas and Maxime will go for the French Motocross Elite and the European MX2, Xavier will enter for the first time Le Touquet Beach Race and then will focus on the French MX1 Motocross and Supercross series. He will also enter some European Grand Prix with us, and Meghan who is only 19 years old will try to collect her first Women World title after her second position in 2014.”
