Andrea Bonacorsi thrilled thousands of Swedish fans with his exceptional performance at the seventh round of the series in Uddevalla. The strong Italian charged forward from fifth in Race One and eventually snatched second position with an impressive pass on Quentin Prugnieres on the final lap.
At the same time, Van Erp made a brilliant start on his GYTR-kitted YZ250F but was eventually pushed back to sixth, where he ultimately finished.
Sunday morning brought wet and brutal conditions for the second and final race of the weekend, turning it into a battle for survival. Bonacorsi got off to a decent start and used his strong, smooth riding style to power through to a second-place finish.
Unfortunately, the team’s promising rookie, Van Erp, fell on the opening lap and was unable to finish after being hit by another rider. He was ultimately classified 13th overall.
Bonacorsi’s seventh podium in as many rounds has further strengthened his championship charge. He now leads by 46 points with three rounds remaining. Van Erp remains sixth.
The eighth round of the EMX250 Championship will take place in Arnhem, The Netherlands, next weekend, 19th and 20th August.
