Andrea Adamo and his wonderful girlfriend Elena gives us an inside look on their trip to Argentina in what was a mixed weekend for the former MX2 World motocross champion. A DNF-2 finished saw him finish 10th overall, but he did win the Saturday qualifier.

“The first race of the season is always important, and I’m happy with how it went. It took me a little time to get comfortable leading, but once I settled in, I found my rhythm and even set my fastest lap near the end. It’s a different challenge being out front, not having anyone to follow, but it’s part of growing as a rider. It’s still too early to say how the season will go, but I feel strong, and starting with a win is always better than being further back. Now, we stay focused, keep improving, and take it one race at a time.”

Adamo had to pull out of the opening moto with a technical issue and after spinning on the metal gate at the start. The former world champ was strong in the second moto to finish second.

“A really good weekend for me. P1 in the Qualifying race and Pole Position was super but then it as a bummer to have a problem in race one and a DNF because I had been feeling good all day. With P2 in the second moto I believe we could have left Argentina with a podium and maybe the red plate, anyway, good feelings with the bike and good speed and fitness so we’re looking forward to Spain now.”
