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!”

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing rider Justin Barcia charged to a 10th-place finish at Round 8 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship in Daytona, Florida, on Saturday night, putting together a consistent performance in one of the toughest races of the year. Top 10 form continues for Justin Barcia at Daytona BAMBAM aiming for more through the mid-stages of Supercross Currently positioned seventh in 450SX standings In the 450SX qualifying sessions this afternoon, Barcia set the ninth-fastest lap-time onboard his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, with the Daytona track layout a mixture of loamy, motocross-style elements among ultra-technical Supercross obstacles at the famed speedway. The number 51 got off to a strong start in his Heat Race, before being caught up in an incident through the opening rhythm lane and going down. Remounting at the rear of the field, Barcia clawed his way into eighth, earning a direct transfer to the Main Event. On a deteriorating circuit, Barcia maintained consistency throughout the Main Event despite a mid-pack start, with a 10th place finish the final result for the Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing rider. It marked his seventh top 10 score in eight rounds, currently sitting P7 in the standings. Justin Barcia: "Daytona is always tough, no matter where you finish. I wasn’t able to find comfort today, we were searching a little bit, which is a bit frustrating given I rode super-good last weekend. Daytona is a different beast altogether, so I am keen to get back indoors, get to Indy, and put the bike back up front.” Next Race: March 8 – Indianapolis, Indiana Results 450SX Class – Daytona 1.

The number 51 would showcase his speed early as the night program arrived, with Barcia well in the mix against the top contenders and racing to a P5 finish in the first encounter. Running up front in the second race, BAMBAM came together with another rider at the midway point, falling down before remounting and continuing to work hard on his way to ninth. A clean race in the third and final outing earned Barcia P4, which took him to sixth overall for the weekend. Justin Barcia: "The Triple Crown in Arlington was a step in the right direction for us. First race was good, second race was going good before I got tangled up with another rider while battling inside the top five, which was a real bummer. I regrouped for the third race and finished fourth in that one, which was the ride of the year for me as I started right at the back! We're moving in the direction where we want to be, and I'm stoked to be heading into Daytona next, that's for sure." Next Race: March 1 – Daytona, Florida Results 450SX Class – Arlington 1.

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia delivered a share of speed and consistency inside Detroit’s Ford Field for Round 6 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship, finishing the Main Event in seventh place and moving to seventh in the overall 450SX standings. Justin Barcia finishes Detroit Main Event in seventh position Experienced racer moves to seventh overall in 450SX point standings Arm tightness holding BAMBAM back from full potential Laptimes were close in the 450SX qualifying sessions on the tight Ford Field layout, with Barcia setting the 11th-fastest time aboard his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition. In the second Heat Race of the event, BAMBAM powered his way into the mix with the race leaders, banging bars early on as he found his way into the fifth position. The New York native would remain there for the remainder of the race, punching his ticket into the Main Event. The number 51 got out of the gates to a mid-pack start in the Main Event, fighting amongst the top 10 positions for the majority of the race as he struggled with tightness in his arms. In true BAMBAM style, he never stopped charging, chasing down his rivals until the checkered flag flew. Justin Barcia: "I really liked Detroit! My starts were good today, I felt decent on the bike speed-wise, I’m just struggling a little bit still with tightness in my arms, and that’s limiting my intensity. It’s disapointing as we’re really close to the top-five and even the podium, so we’ll keep working to be better – further up is where we know we can be!” Next Race: February 22 – Arlington, Texas Results 450SX Class – Detroit 1.
