ANDREA VERONA È IL CAMPIONE DEL MONDO ENDURO2 2024!

Ce l’ha fatta! Cogliendo l’alloro con una gara d’anticipo, l’asso GASGAS Factory Racing Andrea Verona ha conquistato il titolo mondiale FIM Enduro2 dominando entrambe le giornate del GP del Galles. Avendo vinto tutte le giornate fin qui disputate tranne una in cui è arrivato secondo, Andrea ha corso una stagione quasi perfetta che gli è valsa il settimo titolo mondiale in carriera.

  • Verona è per la prima volta campione della classe Enduro2
  • L’asso vicentino e GASGAS sono al quarto alloro insieme
  • In Galles Andrea realizza l’ennesima doppietta in E2

Dopo essere passato alla GASGAS EC 350F e alla classe Enduro2 nel 2023, Andrea aveva chiuso la sua prima stagione in questa classe al secondo posto. Ora, con più esperienza all’attivo, il numero 99 ha dominato la E2 in questo 2024, conquistando 11 vittorie su 12 giornate di gara, e arrivando al penultimo appuntamento stagionale con ben 39 punti di margine. Se non è costanza questa!

Al GP del Galles, Andrea ha cercato di partire col piede giusto nel Super Test del venerdì. Purtroppo una piccola caduta lo ha rallentato, ma sabato Verona è subito tornato sui suoi livelli dominando tutte le Speciali della Enduro2 tranne una. Vinta la giornata con 59 secondi di margine, Andrea si è avvicinato in maniera decisiva al titolo 2024.

Impaziente di ripetersi la domenica, Verona si è imposto nella prima Speciale di Rhayader. Mantenendo la sua striscia vincente nonostante una caduta nel Cross Test del secondo giro, Andrea ha vinto 9 delle 10 Speciali portando la sua GASGAS EC 350F a 24 secondi di vantaggio sul più vicino inseguitore. Con questa vittoria Andrea si è anche assicurato la corona mondiale Enduro2 con una gara di anticipo, un risultato strepitoso per il velocissimo venticinquenne vicentino!

Con il titolo Enduro2 al sicuro, tutti gli occhi sono ora puntati sull’appuntamento finale del mondiale FIM EnduroGP, dove Andrea cercherà di contendere a Josep Garcia il titolo EnduroGP. Giù dal podio per un soffio nelle due giornate gallesi, Verona resta secondo nella classifica EnduroGP, e potete star certi che il nostro pilota darà il massimo nella tappa finale di Brioude, in Francia, il prossimo 13-15 settembre.

Andrea Verona: “Sono felice di aver vinto il titolo Enduro2 in anticipo! È stata un’ottima stagione e sono contento di aver vinto tutte le giornate tranne una. Questo era uno dei nostri obiettivi quest’anno, e ci siamo impegnati al massimo per raggiungerlo. Ringrazio il team GASGAS Factory Racing e tutti quelli che mi hanno sostenuto quest’anno. Di sicuro cercherò fino alla fine di rendere le cose difficili a Josep Garcia per il titolo EnduroGP!”

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.
