EMX Portugal: Race Results & Highlights

The sun-baked hills of Agueda delivered two days of relentless action as the FIM Europe EMX250 and EMX125 Presented by FMF Racing Championships rolled into Portugal for round eight and round seven respectively. In hot, sunny and near-perfect conditions, both classes served up dominant front-running, hard racing and a title picture that shifted on the final day.

In EMX250, Venum BUD Racing Kawasaki’s Francisco Garcia was simply untouchable. The Spaniard swept both races for a third overall victory of the season and stretched his championship lead to a commanding 104 points over teammate Jake Cannon. Joe Brookes celebrated a maiden EMX250 podium in second overall, with Maddii Racing Honda’s Elias Escandell completing the podium in third.

In EMX125, Norman KTM Factory Rookies’ Ricardo Bauer turned the title race on its head. A second-race win sealed the overall ahead of Yamaha Europe Monster Energy MJC’s Sleny Goyer and Fantic Factory Racing EMXs Bertram Thorius, and with championship leader and teammate Moritz Ernecker enduring a nightmare Sunday, Bauer slashed the gap at the top of the standings to just 19 points.
