Lucas Coenen on the podium in EMX250 Sardinia

Lucas Coenen finished on the podium at round four of the EMX250 Series in Riola Sardo, Sardinia. Coenen finished fourth in the opening moto but was leading for a long time in the second moto and finally finished in a strong second position, which gave him third overall.

The circumstances were tough in Sardinia. With temperatures around thirty degrees and a heavy sand track it was physically demanding for the riders. Lucas was ready for it and started the weekend on a positive note. In qualifying he was sixth fastest and this gave him a good gate pick in both motos.

Lucas took a not so good start in the opening moto and was just inside of the top ten by the end of the first lap. He started a charge and managed to pass one rider after another. In the middle of the race he had worked himself up into fifth position but he wasn’t satisfied with this and kept charging. He passed the third and fourth place riders as well but unfortunately he made a small mistake in the closing stages of the race. He lost third position again and finally finished in fourth position.

He took a better start in the second moto and it didn’t took long before he moved into first position. He tried to make a gap over himself and the second place riders. He held on to first position till the middle of the race but then he lost the lead. Lucas kept fighting and was staying close to the leader. In the closing stages of the race he tried to pass him back but he ran out of time and had to be satisfied with second position.

With a 4-2 in the motos he took third overall. With these good results he has moved up to fifth position in the championship!
