Summary By: eMotoX
Sacha Coenen delivered a dominant performance at the MX2 World Championship round five in Pietramurata, securing victory in both races despite challenging conditions. A heavy shower at the start of the first moto made the track particularly difficult, but Coenen managed to lead from start to finish. Matthis Valin pushed hard to maintain second place, while Simon Längenfelder struggled to find his rhythm, finishing tenth in the opening race.
In the second race, Coenen continued his impressive form, completing a clean sweep with a 1-1 finish across the weekend. Even after a late tip-over with a comfortable ten-second lead, he quickly regained control and held on to win, demonstrating remarkable composure under pressure. Farre and Längenfelder rounded out the podium, with the latter closing the championship gap to just three points behind Coenen.
Other notable performances included Mikula, who narrowly missed out on a podium spot with a strong fourth-place finish, and Valin, who secured seventh in the second moto to claim an overall podium position. Liam Everts faced a tough day after crashing early in the first lap while running fourth, but he showed resilience by recovering to ninth despite a further incident involving a backmarker.
With Coenen’s consistent results, the championship standings have tightened significantly, setting up an intriguing battle for the remaining rounds. The weekend’s outcomes have injected fresh momentum into the title race, promising an exciting continuation of the MX2 World Championship season.
