Red Bull KTM factory rider, Andrea Adamo has won the French Grand Prix with a solid 2-1 performance. The Italian rider, who has struggled to put together consistent results in recent times proved very solid today. Simon Langenfelder second overall with 1-3 scores and third place to Thibault Benistant with 5-2 scores. Brilliant racing in the MX2 class today.

Andrea Adamo: Yes, it was amazing. It hass been one year and a half since I won and it was tough last year and I am happy to feel the fire and feel competative. The last lap was insane and I am super happy and want to keep this momentum.

Championship points are now Liam Everts 135 points, Simon Längenfelder 132pts, Kay de Wolf 130pts, Andrea Adamo 124pts, and Thibault Benistant 111pts.

MX2 Moto Two

Coenen into the lead of MX2 moto two with Langenfelder, Everts and Coenen went down hard and well back in the field now. Valin was third, then Adamo, Benistant, Valk, Prugnieres, de Wolf, Braceras and Zanchi 10th. Adamo into second as he passed Everts and Coenen back in last place.

Lap three and it was Langenfelder, Everts, Adamo, Benistant, Valin, Valk, de Wolf, Zanchi, Braceras, Oliver in 10th. Everts all over Langenfelder for the top spot. Benistant 1.3 seconds back in third, with Adamo next, then Valk, De Wolf, Valin, Zanchi, McLellan, Braceras 10th. Everts into the lead and looking very smooth. Nothing between the top three.

Benistant into second place and going after the leader, Everts. Adamo joins the party as he tries to pass Langenfelder. Lap seven the lead by Everts was one second, followed by Benistant, Adamo, Langenfelder, Valk, de Wolf, Valin, Zanchi, McLellan, Braceras in 10th.

Benistant into the lead as he passed Everts and the huge crowd go mental. De Wolf moved past Valk to fifth place and important points scored. Adamo also moved past Everts and the overall is a question mark for now.

Lap 11 and it was Benistant, Adamo, Langenfelder, de Wolf, Everts, Valk, Zanchi, Valin, McLellan, and Reisulis in 10th. Coenen up to 16th place, a tough cookie is the Belgian. A great ride by de Wolf trying to score as many points on what hasn’t been his best day.

Lap 14 and it was Benistant, Adamo, Langenfelder, de Wolf, Everts, Valk, Zanchi, Valin, McLellan and Braceras. Very close racing up front, but no passing for the time being. Adamo into the lead and takes over the overall for now. Amazing fight in the final laps between Adamo and Benistant, but Adamo wins the moto and the Grand Prix of France.
