GASGAS FACTORY RACING RIDER STORMS TO DOUBLE VICTORY AND STRENGTHENS TITLE CHALLENGE
What a weekend for GASGAS Factory Racing’s Andrea Verona! Fired up by the incredible home support in Darfo Boario Terme, the EC 450F racer delivered a performance to remember at round six of the 2025 FIM EnduroGP World Championship. After battling to third overall and second in Enduro2 on a tricky opening day, Andrea came back stronger on Sunday to charge to a dominant double victory in EnduroGP and Enduro2.
- Verona delivers sensational home win in Darfo Boario Terme
- GASGAS star tops EnduroGP and Enduro2 on Sunday
- Championship fight tightens ahead of final round in Germany
The action kicked off in style on Friday night as Andrea attacked the Super Test and came out on top. With the crowd behind him, he steered his EC 450F to victory by just 0.06 seconds over rival Josep Garcia, bagging his second Super Test win of the season and setting the tone for the weekend ahead.
Saturday brought a tough day of racing, but Verona delivered an incredibly consistent performance. Clocking top-three times on 10 of the 12 special tests, he battled the demanding conditions to finish third overall and second in Enduro2, collecting valuable points despite a late crash that cost him a chance at the class win.
Fired up for redemption on Sunday, Andrea came out swinging. After a steady opening lap, the Italian delivered when it mattered most, claiming the lead on lap three and never letting go. Spurred on by the support of the tifosi, Verona dominated the final laps to storm clear of the pack, taking victory in EnduroGP by a massive 42 seconds and topping Enduro2 by 53 seconds. What a way to win at home!
With just one round remaining, Verona now sits second in both the EnduroGP and Enduro2 standings. He trails Josep Garcia by 15 points in the overall fight, and sits just two points shy of Zach Pichon in Enduro2, leaving everything to play for at the season finale in Zschopau, Germany, on October 17-19.
Andrea Verona: “I couldn’t be happier with how today went for me! I managed to keep mistakes to a minimum, and the conditions were kinder to us today, too. Taking the win in EnduroGP and Enduro2 feels amazing, and I’ve managed to reduce the gap to the leader in both quite a lot. Saturday wasn’t as strong, but I was able to put some good tests together and still finish on the podium. One more round to go, and I’m looking forward to it!”
