Guillem Farres fastest in MX2 time practice
Summary By: eMotoX
Guillem Farres emerged as the fastest rider in the MX2 time practice session held in Arco di Trento, narrowly edging out Valerio Lata by just 0.002 seconds. The sunny conditions provided an ideal backdrop for the intense competition, with Farres setting a benchmark that others struggled to surpass. Janis Martins Reisulis secured the third-fastest time, while the current championship leader Simon Langenfelder was fourth, indicating a highly competitive field.
Several notable performances came from riders representing the Netherlands and Belgium. Kay Karssemakers led the Dutch contingent with an eleventh-place time, closely followed by Scott Smulders in 14th, Cas Valk in 15th, and Jens Walvoort in 24th. On the Belgian side, Sacha Coenen impressed with a fifth-place finish, while Liam Everts also posted a strong time, coming in seventh. These results highlight the depth of talent across the European riders in the MX2 category.
The narrow margins separating the top riders underscore the competitive nature of the MX2 class as the season progresses. With championship leader Langenfelder just outside the top three in practice, the upcoming races promise to be closely fought. Riders and teams will be analysing these times to refine their strategies and bike setups ahead of the main events, as every fraction of a second could prove decisive in the championship battle.
