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’s Justin Barcia endured a challenging night of competition at Round 13 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship in Philadelphia, displaying front-running pace throughout the event before finishing 14th place in the 450SX Main Event. Justin Barcia races to 14th place finish in Philadelphia BAMBAM manages issues throughout the race in moving forward Currently sits in seventh place in 450SX standings Barcia set the 11th-fastest time in qualifying equipped with his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, navigating a circuit that heavy rain had impacted in the lead-up to race day. A mid-field start in the Heat Race saw BAMBAM steadily make his way through the pack, making a series of commanding passes that would earn the number 51 a third-place finish by race's end. In the premier class Main Event, Barcia launched out of the gates to take the lead on the opening lap, only for it to come unraveled right after the finish line jump. Salvaging positions from there after remouting in last position, Barcia would claim a hard-fought 14th-place finish and valuable points toward his championship tally. Justin Barcia: "Challenging day today! I hurt my finger pretty bad on Thursday, so I was lucky to be out here riding. Qualified 11th and then in the Heat Race we got third, which considering the circumstances was pretty good. Main Event, I launched out of the gate for a great start and then had a small issue with my rear brake there, which I managed for the rest of the race. Bummer deal, but we’ll try again next weekend at my hometown race in New Jersey.” Next Race: April 19 – East Rutherford, New Jersey Results 450SX Class – Philadelphia 1. Chase Sexton (KTM) 2.

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing rider Justin Barcia was in spectacular form at Foxborough in Round 12 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship, qualifying fastest in the 450SX Class and then racing to a convincing fifth-place result after negotiating the incredibly tough, muddy track conditions endured at Gillette Stadium. Justin Barcia finishes with fifth place at Round 12 of the season BAMBAM opens race day with the fastest 450SX qualifying time! Experienced racer currently sixth position in the point-standings Barcia entered the Foxborough event equipped with his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition prepared for the rain, with the New York native known for his skills when the skies open up. The number 51 demonstrated his mud riding prowess from the outset, rocketing to the top of the 450SX qualifying timesheets for the first time this year, finding early comfort on what was almost immediately a brutal track surface. An eighth-place finish in his Heat Race was then backed up by front-running pace in the Main Event, as BAMBAM was in the mix with the leading group during the early stages. Battling all race long, he would cross the line in a solid fifth place by the end of the race to conclude his weekend. Justin Barcia: "Supercross in Gillette Stadium was a good day for me! I qualified P1, which was an absolutely awesome way to start things off. A few crashes in my Heat Race weren’t ideal, so I luckily qualified through there as it was a bit nerve-wracking. Later on, I got off to a good start in the Main Event and was right there with the leaders throughout – I was around or in a podium spot at different stages, but ended up bringing it home in fifth-place after a super-challenging day. I'm looking forward to getting back to work and getting after it next weekend.” Next Race: April 12 – Philidelphia, Pennsylvania Results 450SX Class – Foxborough 1. Aaron Plessinger (KTM) 2.
