Moritz Ernecker and Ricardo Bauer of the Norman KTM Racing Team once again showed their speed during the EMX125 round in Riola Sardo. For Ernecker, this resulted in overall victory, while Bauer made an impressive comeback after setbacks in the first moto.
Ernecker started the weekend strongly by setting the fastest time in his practice group. He carried this form into the first moto, where he started in second place and took over the lead halfway through the race, riding convincingly to victory.
In the second moto, the Austrian grabbed the holeshot and led for most of the race. In the closing stages he had to give up the lead, but his second-place finish was enough to secure the overall win. With these results, the KTM rider strengthens his leading position in the EMX125 championship.
Ricardo Bauer also demonstrated his speed by setting the fastest time in his practice group. The first moto started difficult for him, as he crossed the line in 24th place after the opening lap. With a strong charge through the field, he worked his way toward the top ten, but halfway through the race he was forced to retire.
Bauer bounced back excellently in the second moto. After starting just outside the top five, he rode a strong race and worked his way up to an impressive third-place finish.
Next weekend, the EMX125 Championship continues in Trentino, Italy.
