Guillem Farrés also wins second race in Lacapelle-Marival

Guillem Farrés secured a commanding victory in the second MX2 race held in Lacapelle-Marival, France, further cementing his dominance in the event. Despite a strong early performance from Jānis Martins Reišulis, who led for much of the race, he faded in the final stages to finish fifth. Farrés’s teammate Camden McLellan claimed second place, followed closely by Mathis Valin and Liam Everts, rounding out a competitive top five. The race saw mixed fortunes for several riders, with Gyan Doensen finishing 15th, while Kay Karssemakers and Scott Smulders were unable to start. Belgian riders Lucas Coenen and Douwe van Mechgelen had contrasting outcomes; Coenen managed a solid sixth place, whereas Van Mechgelen narrowly missed out on points, finishing 21st. These results highlighted the challenging nature of the course and the fierce competition among the riders. Farrés’s perfect score of two wins in the races secured him the overall victory at Lacapelle-Marival, followed by McLellan and Valin, who both demonstrated consistent performances across the two races. This outcome has significant implications for the MX2 World Championship standings, where Simon Längenfelder continues to lead with 281 points. However, the gap is narrowing, with Sacha Coenen and Farrés trailing closely, setting the stage for an intense battle in the upcoming rounds.
