Simon Laengenfelder was the big winner of the first MX2 race in Maggiora, in a round in which Andrea Adamo gained more points on his main rivals in the fight for the title.

The german from GASGAS was fastest on italian soil, beating Jago Geerts (Yamaha) by 6.611s, while Adamo (KTM) was third, crossing the line 12.5s after the #516.

Liam Everts (KTM) was the first to miss out on the podium, and he who is still dreaming of the class title saw his teammate get further away in the standings after scoring two more points than him. Lucas Coenen (Husqvarna) was fifth and closed the top five.

Note the fight for third place in the championship, where Laengenfelder, after picking up 25 points in the first race, was just one point behind Geerts. The belgian has 681 points, just one more than the german.

Simon Längenfelder won the qualifying race at the MXGP of Turkey, for the MX2 World Motocross Championship. This Saturday’s race in Afyonkarahisar was marked by rain and wind, especially in the final part.

At the start, Längenfelder (Red Bull GasGas) took the lead and held onto it until the end. Roan van de Moosdijk (Nestaan Husqvarna) was his main opponent until being overtaken by Liam Everts (Red Bull KTM) on the ninth lap.

The rain and wind intensified in the last few laps, making it challenging for the riders. However, this did not discourage Everts from pursuing Längenfelder.

The Belgian put up a strong fight, but the German managed to win by 0.389s. The two were in a league of their own, as van de Moosdijk finished third, a distant 18.587s behind the leaders. Jago Geerts (Monster Energy Yamaha), the championship leader, finished fourth ahead of Lucas Coenen (Neestan Husqvarna).
