DAY TWO
Garcia looked for redemption on
day two as he won the opening
lap by two seconds over Hol-
combe, who also managed a test
victory on lap one.
By lap two, Verona moved his
way into second place and rolled
that momentum into two wins to
start lap three. Garcia fired back
on the penultimate lap with a win
and went into the final lap with a
comfortable 17-second gap.
The Factory KTM rider managed
his lead on the final lap and won
the final Enduro Test. His 22-sec
-
ond margin on day two earned him
the overall victory as he reclaimed
the championship points lead prior
to round four in Italy.
Verona battled back to take
second overall ahead of Beta's
Brad Freeman who scored his
first overall podium of the year.
"I'm super happy to win today,"
said Garcia. "It puts a smile on
my face for sure. I only had one
crash, but we are all on the limit
so that's kind of normal. With
this win I am also leading the
championship, so I will fight to
keep that."
"It's been a solid day, but for
sure not as good as yesterday,"
said Verona. "I started out a bit
slow on lap one, but then got
into a nice rhythm after that. A
mistake on the Enduro Test on
lap three made me lose the gap
to Josep. But I've moved up to
second overall in the champion-
ship, so that's great too."
"I'm happy to get my first En-
duroGP podium of the season,"
Freeman said. "The pace of the
front two guys was pretty strong,
but slowly I'm getting back up
there. I'm still struggling a little,
but definitely happy to get this
result, and also another win in
Enduro3."
