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!”

That maiden, history-making victory marked the inaugural time that GASGAS had won a Supercross Main Event. BAMBAM would then go on to earn three more indoor podium finishes that year – as well as fourth overall in the final 450SX standings – before delivering GASGAS its first victory in Pro Motocross at the Spring Creek National that same season via a 1-2 moto scorecard. Over the course of the four seasons that followed, Barcia would claim a haul of podium results both in Supercross and Pro Motocross, with another 450SX Main Event victory achieved at East Rutherford in 2023 onboard the GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition model. Barcia took fifth overall in both the 2022 and 2023 AMA Supercross Championships, further solidifying his legacy in helping to put GASGAS on the map in North American competition. In 2025, with Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing, BAMBAM placed 10th across the entire SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) season. Recognized for his charisma and dedicated style on the race track, the Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team thanks the 33-year-old out of Monroe, New York, for his unwavering approach to racing, and wishes him all the best in the future!
