ANDREA VERONA WINS 2024 ENDURO2 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

He's done it! Sealing the deal with one round to spare, GASGAS Factory Racing’s Andrea Verona has won the FIM Enduro2 World Championship after topping the timesheets on both days at the GP of Wales. Winning every day except one so far, where he finished as runner-up, Andrea’s near-perfect season has earned him a well-deserved seventh career world title.

  • Verona crowned Enduro2 champion for the first time
  • Italian star and GASGAS claim fourth world title together
  • Double E2 victory for Andrea in Wales

Switching to the GASGAS EC 350F and the Enduro2 category for the 2023 season, Andrea finished the year as runner-up. Now in 2024 and with more experience under his belt, the number 99 has enjoyed a dominant season in the class, taking 11 wins from the 12 days raced, and headed into the penultimate round with an impressive 39-point lead in the Enduro2 standings. Talk about consistency!

Arriving at the GP of Wales with a 39-point lead in Enduro2, Andrea looked to get his weekend off to a solid start in Friday’s Super Test on his GASGAS EC 350 F. Unfortunately, a small crash put a dampener on things. But quickly getting back on the gas Saturday, the Italian went on to top the Enduro2 timesheets on all but one test. Winning the class by a comfortable 59 seconds moved him one step closer to clinching the 2024 title.

Raring to go on Sunday, Verona came out swinging to top the opening test in Rhayader. Maintaining his streak of winning results, and despite a crash on the cross test on lap two, the Italian won nine of the 10 tests raced to bring his EC 350F home 24 seconds ahead of his nearest E2-class rival. In securing the win, Verona claimed the Enduro2 world title with one round to spare – an amazing achievement for the insanely fast 25-year-old!

With the Enduro2 title wrapped up, all eyes are now on the final round of the FIM EnduroGP World Championship, where Andrea will look to take the fight to Josep Garcia in EnduroGP. Narrowly missing the podium on both days in Wales, Andrea still lies second overall in the EnduroGP class standings. And you can be sure the GASGAS star will be giving his all at the final round, held in Brioude, France, on September 13-15.

Andrea Verona: “I’m really happy to get the Enduro2 title with one race to spare! It’s been a great season and I’m so happy to have won every single day except one. This was one of our goals for the year and we have pushed hard all season to get here. Thank you to the GASGAS Factory Racing team and everyone who has helped me all year. For sure we will take the fight to Josep Garcia at the final race for the EnduroGP title!”

What a performance! GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jaime Busto has secured second place overall in the 2024 FIM X-Trial World Championship following a third-place result at round seven in Spain. With podium finishes in all but one round this season, Busto delivered an impressive ride in front of a passionate home crowd during the season finale. Teammate Sondre Haga also made his second X-Trial appearance of the year, finishing eighth aboard his TXE GP. Jaime wraps up 2024 championship as runner-up Third-place result in Spain for the GASGAS star 2025 series kicks off in five weeks’ time Fueled by his win in Estonia, Busto got off to a strong start by placing second in the evening's first round of action in Spain. Confidently taking on five sections of tricky, man-made obstacles, Jaime dropped just seven marks. Fired up by the passionate home crowd in Pamplona’s Navarra Arena, Jaime headed into round two with his eyes on the prize. Round two went even better for the Spaniard. Demonstrating his skill and control on his TXT GP 300, Jaime carefully picked his lines to clean every section, securing his spot in the final after an impressive performance. The final round proved to be a nail-biter. All three qualified riders initially tied with fives in the opening section and cleans in the second, setting the stage for an intense showdown. Despite giving his all on the remaining sections, Busto made a couple of small errors which ultimately cost him the top spot. Completing the round on 20 marks saw Jaime place third place on the night. The result secured him his sixth podium of the season, and second overall in the championship standings. Marking his second X-Trial appearance of the 2024 series, Sondre Haga had a tough evening in Pamplona. In a super-technical round one, costly mistakes on three of the five sections left the TXE GP rider in seventh place. Despite cleaning three sections in round two, it wasn’t enough to move up the leaderboard and Haga finished eighth overall. The 2025 FIM X-Trial World Championship gets underway in just over one month’s time in Madrid on December 21. Jaime Busto: “Overall, I’m really happy with my ride! I knew going into tonight that the first and second lap were super important to make sure I got into the final to secure second in the championship. I started the night strong but unfortunately relaxed a bit too much in the final and made too many mistakes. I finished on the podium again, though, and got second in the championship which I’m super happy about. It’s been a great season full of strong results, and I can’t wait to carry this momentum into the new season in December!” Sondre Haga: “It was pretty close on the first lap, but as always with X-Trial, small mistakes can cost so many positions. It was great to ride this championship again and I really enjoyed it, so I think with some more work I’ll be getting better results next season.” Albert Cabestany – GASGAS Factory Racing Trial Team Manager: “We achieved our goal for tonight so we’re really happy! It’s great that Jaime has secured the runner-up position in the final standings, he’s done an amazing job all season and tonight too. He managed the pressure really well and had two great laps to get into the final. Sondre rose to the occasion of riding the electric bike indoors and proved that we have a competitive bike. We’re already looking forward to the next season!” Results – 2024 X-Trial World Championship, Round 7 1. Toni Bou (Montesa) 8 final 2. Benoit Bincaz (Sherco) 17 final 3.
