Simon Laengenfelder was the big winner of the first MX2 race in Maggiora, in a round in which Andrea Adamo gained more points on his main rivals in the fight for the title.
The german from GASGAS was fastest on italian soil, beating Jago Geerts (Yamaha) by 6.611s, while Adamo (KTM) was third, crossing the line 12.5s after the #516.
Liam Everts (KTM) was the first to miss out on the podium, and he who is still dreaming of the class title saw his teammate get further away in the standings after scoring two more points than him. Lucas Coenen (Husqvarna) was fifth and closed the top five.
Note the fight for third place in the championship, where Laengenfelder, after picking up 25 points in the first race, was just one point behind Geerts. The belgian has 681 points, just one more than the german.
