Team Bud Racing Kawasaki was racing at home this weekend, as the beach of Hossegor is just a few kilometres from the team head quarter. As every year the beach met hundreds of riders involved in a round of the French Beach race series, and Quentin Prugnieres didn’t miss the opportunity to win the Junior race and to put the team colours on top of the box.
Back a few days earlier from Florida, where he got several podium results at the Mini O’s in Gatorback, Quentin joined the team in Hossegor to race the ‘Ronde des Sables’. Another experience for him after racing many Motocross and a few Supercross events this season, and this year again he dominated the Junior race. Starting from the second row behind the gate, as he’s not a regular contender in the series, Quentin didn’t take unnecessary risks at the start of the ninety minutes’ race. After three laps he took the lead of the race, and did a perfect demonstration even if he lost some time with a little problem of vent hose dislocated. Playing with his bike, doing some wheelies in the sand, he crosses the finish line nearly two minutes ahead of his main rival for his last race this season. No more starts for him this year, but he will now continue to train with the Team to prepare next season.
Quentin Prugnières: “Everything went perfect, I took my time to get the lead after starting from the second row and then I managed the race. I lost a few seconds due to a fuel hose, but apart this I had a lot of fun on this beautiful beach. It’s nice to race so different events, MX, SX and here a beach race on such a nice place. I enjoy my youth!”
