this happen. I have held the red
plate since round one—I cannot
ask for anything better. This is a
dream."
MX2
A similar situation took place in
the MX2 division as the title was
also up for grabs for KTM's An-
drea Adamo. With Simon Laeng-
felder controlling the front of race
one, Adamo and Jago Geerts
duked it out for second and third.
The two early-season rivals went
at it, with Adamo eventually mak-
ing a big mistake late and solidify-
ing his spot in third.
Race two saw Laengfelder
and Geerts leading again, with
Adamo charging forward from
the back. He moved up as far as
third while his KTM teammate,
Liam Everts, ran fourth before
crashing out of the race. This
costly mistake gave Adamo
the advantage he needed to
clinch the title even with a pair
of thirds on the day. The Italian
native claimed his first world
title in front of his home country.
Geerts went on to take the race
win and the overall ahead of
Laengfelder's 1-2.
"I came to Maggiora not think
-
ing about the GP win and mainly
about the first chance to take
the title," said Adamo. "I'm really
happy with my motos. They were
very consistent even though
I didn't have the best starts.
Maybe I got lucky at times this
season, but every single race, I
tried to do the maximum I could:
sometimes it is P2, sometimes
P5, and sometimes P1. Nothing
more. I can accept when some
-
one is faster than me, and I held
this strategy all season; now I'm
a world champion!"
