Mathys Boisramé, a Frenchman, will move from MX2 to MXGP for the rest of this season, staying with Kawasaki but joining a different team. The following is a press release:
Mathys Boisramé, who has established himself as a front runner and regular podium guest in MX2 on his F&H KX250, has been chosen to step in for the injured Ivo Monticelli on the MX Esca Kawasaki KX450-SR.
Boisramé, who was recently picked as part of a strong French team for the 2021 MXoN, has made no secret of the fact that, like many other riders in the MX2 class, his ultimate motocross challenge is to compete in MXGP.
Boisramé’s first objective will be to familiarize himself with his new mount with scheduled practice and familiarisation briefings ahead of the final MXGP events, after being welcomed to the MX Esca awning by Monticelli’s pit staff and the rest of the experienced team.
Although it is naturally sorry to see Mathys leave without completing the entire 2021 season, Nathalie Fase, Team Manager of his current F&H side, has voiced her full support for the racing class jump up, saying:
“We had some great times working with MB172. Mathys is a fast rider with great future potential and a superb team player. F&H is proud to have played part in his meteoric rise to the ranks of MXGP riders and we wish him well for his Kawasaki future.”
Despite a mid-season knee injury that he has since recovered from, Boisramé has proven to be a quick and tactical rider. MX Esca, Team Manager, Vincent Bereni: “His three-year rise to prominence in the F&H team is something that appeals to me.”
“MX Esca is happy to give Mathys the opportunity to ride the last five MXGP events on the KX 450 SR machine. F&H has put a lot of effort into Mathys in the past 2 years. Letting him take this opportunity shows just how professional and how dedicated to the sport the F&H team is and I’d like to thank them for that. From our end, we never like to rush anything, the step from MX2 to MXGP bikes is important that is why we decided to first get Mathys comfortable with the bike, giving the team the time to be also ready as we are currently racing every weekend. This way he will be able to perform at his best. We think Mathys can get some good experience of the MXGP class and show his potential for the future.”
Mathy’s himself concluded:
“First of all I want to sincerely thank the F&H team and especially Nathalie and Harry Fase, who have done a lot for me during these past two years, I will remain eternally grateful to them.
Thanks also to Marc Dereuver, a demanding but very inspiring coach! Following my knee injury, I lost ground in the championship and a top 10 does not correspond to our respective ambitions, so with the idea of preparing my move to 450, they were immediately enthusiastic and cooperative with Kawasaki Motor Europe to facilitate this transition, again demonstrating the sportsmanship that drives them.
Finally, I am honoured that the KRT team run by Thierry Suzzoni and Vince Bereni of MX Esca have thought of me as a credible option in fill in for Ivo for the end of the season. There is no better package to start in MXGP, I am in heaven!”
