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 Casey Cochran has been sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 Pro Motocross season following a shoulder injury sustained at Southwick. Casey will undergo surgery next week to repair ligament damage in his shoulder, officially marking an early end to his outdoor campaign. Crash during 250MX qualifying at Round 5 resulted in shoulder injury Scheduled to undergo surgery on ligament damage next week Casey’s outdoor season has unfortunately been cut short while he recovers Cochran suffered a dislocated shoulder during the second qualifying session at the Southwick National. Earlier that day, he had posted the ninth-fastest time in opening practice, showcasing the speed and progression he’s demonstrated all season long. Following further medical evaluation earlier this week, it was confirmed that the injury included ligament damage that will require surgical repair. Recovery timelines are expected to keep him off the bike for the remainder of the 2025 motocross season. Sean Murphy, Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager: “It’s a tough break for Casey, especially after the adversity he’s already battled with the injury he sustained prior to Supercross. He’s shown incredible determination, and we were looking forward to getting a full outdoor season under his belt, but Casey is an extremely determined rider and we’re confident he will put in the work to get back on the bike as soon as he can.” Cochran's Pro Motocross campaign began with a promising comeback from a broken femur that had ruled him out of the 2025 AMA Supercross season. Despite limited time on his GASGAS MC 250F in the lead-up, he quickly made a mark outdoors in scoring two top 10 finishes across the opening four rounds, but his breakout ride came in Round 2 at Hangtown where he led five laps of Moto 1 and grabbed the holeshot in Moto 2. The entire Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing team extends its support to Casey and looks forward to his return upon his recovery.

Still building endurance after his time out injured, the number 51 would finish P9 in the race and overall. Justin Barcia: "Today was challenging! It was good to be back with the crew and the team. I wouldn’t say it was a fun day because Southwick is pretty brutal! The fans are awesome, so that was a positive, and a top 10 is not too bad after coming straight from therapy. We’ll take it, and we’ve got some things to build on, so that is good. I ripped a good start in Moto 2, so I was happy with that, I showed some grit, and now onto RedBud!" In 250MX, Ryder DiFrancesco posted the 11th fastest qualifying time onboard his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, before a tough opening encounter left him in 22nd position at race's end. Rebounding in Moto 2, DiFrancesco would be in the fight for the top 10, eventually claiming a P13 moto score for 15th overall. Ryder DiFrancesco: “Qualifying was better here, but I need to be better with racing on the weekends, taking what I learn during the week and applying it to the weekend. I finally got a good start in the second Moto, and we’ll carry that into RedBud.” Southwick unfortunately resulted in 250MX talent Casey Cochran missing both motos after suffering a dislocated shoulder in an incident during the second qualifying session. He had earlier posted the ninth-quickest time this morning, and is now scheduled to undergo further evaluation on his injury this week. Sean Murphy, Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager: "It was very unfortunate that Casey crashed during qualifying, resulting in a dislocated shoulder. He’s shown great potential so far this motocross season, and it’s tough to see him have to sit out at Southwick. We’re grateful to the Alpinestars medical crew for doing their best to get his shoulder back in safely. Casey will undergo an MRI next week and we’re hoping to have a clearer picture of the injury by the middle of the week."
