First EMX career win for BUD junior Lucas Coenen in Italy

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

9MM Energy Drink BUD #racing junior #lucascoenen claimed an overwhelming career-first FIM European Championship #moto win at #pietramurata in the Trentino region of northern Italy today.

The fourteen-year old Belgian rookie headed his Qualifying group and moved quickly from a third-placed start in race one to take the lead quickly and sprinted clear at more than two seconds each lap before easing back through the final laps for a still-comfortable fourteen-second victory. A double-win looked on the cards as he sliced his way to the front already on the opening lap of race two, but two slips cast him back to fifteenth before a remarkable recovery as he consistently lapped faster than the eventual winner to end the day second on the podium.
 
Lucas Coenen: “It feels good to be be back winning again but of course I’m disappointed not to take the overall too even though I am still on the podium. I managed to pass quickly from third for the lead and made a big gap in the first race and I could soon take the lead in the second #moto two, but then I fell two times. “
 
Quentin Prugnières was another BUD teenager to show terrific pace in the shadow of the Dolomites as he pushed his KX250 from twenty-seventh to thirteenth after spinning at the gate in the first EMX250 #moto.
