Race results: MX2 World Championship RD6 – Lacapelle-Marival – Farres wins

Guillem Farres claimed his first-ever overall victory in the MX2 World Championship at the sixth round in Lacapelle-Marival, delivering a strong performance across both races. In the opening race, Farres capitalised on a crash by early leader Sacha Coenen to take the lead, fending off pressure from Mathis Valin and Simon Längenfelder. Despite a challenging start, Camden McLellan made an impressive late charge to secure third place, while Liam Everts and Janis Reisulis completed the top five. Coenen’s difficulties continued with a second crash, resulting in an eighth-place finish. The second race saw rookie Janis Reisulis take an early holeshot and lead the pack for much of the race, demonstrating his potential with a commanding front-runner display. However, Farres made a decisive move with four laps remaining to seize the lead, holding off a determined McLellan in a tense battle between team-mates. Valin secured a solid third place, much to the delight of his home fans, while Längenfelder’s race was compromised by a crash that dropped him to seventh, behind Coenen. Farres’ victory at Lacapelle-Marival significantly boosts his position in the championship standings, marking a pivotal moment in his MX2 career. The win not only highlights his growing consistency and racecraft but also intensifies the competition among the top riders as the season progresses. With the championship race heating up, Farres now emerges as a key contender, setting the stage for an exciting second half of the season.
