The Spanish rider clocked a time nearly two seconds ahead of his closest competitors, Simone Mancini and Bernardo Tiburcio, establishing himself as the clear frontrunner in the session. This impressive lap time underlines Garcia’s strong form and potential dominance in the upcoming races. Other riders showed mixed fortunes during the practice. Dani Heitink secured the eleventh-fastest time, comfortably ensuring his qualification for the next stage of the competition. However, Belgian riders Maxime Lucas and Emile de Baere struggled to make an impact, finishing 24th and 25th respectively, which placed them outside the qualifying positions.

With such a commanding performance in practice, Garcia will be one to watch as the EMX250 event progresses. Meanwhile, the results also reflect the challenges faced by some riders in adapting to the track conditions or bike setup, factors that could influence the race outcomes. Looking ahead, the focus will be on whether Garcia can maintain this pace during the race and convert his practice dominance into a strong finish. For the riders who missed out on qualification, the session serves as a crucial learning experience as they prepare for future events. The EMX250 series continues to showcase emerging talent in electric motocross, with practice times offering early insights into potential championship contenders.
