Around a beautifully prepared circuit and with a packed-out facility, as the Argentines again showed they love the sport of Motocross, Red Bull KTM Factory rider Andrea Adamo has shown he wants his World title back with a victory in the opening moto of the year, in the MX2 qualifier. The Italian, who lost his crown to Kay De Wolf in 2024 grabbed the lead early in the Saturday race and remained in the lead until the end.

Andrea Adamo: It is a long time I didn't do these interviews and it wasn't going so well, but then I got P3 in practice and the feeling is good and we won the first one. Many races to go, but at least we won the first one and I am happy.
