ANDRZEJEWSKI WINS YZ65 BLU CRU FIM EUROPE CUP SUPERFINALE IN SWEDEN |
|
Tymon Andrzejewski of Poland fought back from a first lap crash to take victory in the 2025 Yamaha YZ65 BLU CRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale in front of a packed crowd at the MXGP of Sweden in Uddevalla.
Having set the quickest time in Saturday morning’s qualifier, Andrzejewski established himself as favourite for the afternoon’s race but it would be anything but simple for the young Polish racer, who was eighth into turn one after a difficult start.
Britain’s Tommy Wood took an impressive holeshot to take an early lead ahead of Spain’s Biel Vilalta and the Netherlands’ Jann Huisman but despite the tough start Andrzejewski was on the charge and into podium contention halfway around the first lap.
Huisman took the lead towards the end of lap one, but then drama would strike as the Dutch rider fell, forcing a chasing Andrzejewski to take evasive action, with the Pol also falling on the opening lap. This meant Britain’s Tommy Wood inherited the lead, while Huisman and Andrzejewski remounted in fourth and fifth respectively.
Vilalta took over the lead at the start of the second lap, but Andrzejewski was pushing hard to regain his lost ground, moving into third on lap three before taking to the front as the fourth lap begun with a minute left on the clock.
Drama struck for Tommy Wood on the fourth lap as he crashed out of third place, promoting a charging Jann Huisman to third. With Andzrejewski escaping at the front, Huisman was closing in on Vilalta for second place, and the Spaniard put him a strong fight but lost the position on the penultimate lap.
With one lap remaining, Andzrejewski’s lead sat at 3.5 seconds over Huisman, but halfway around the final lap the Dutch rider had sliced that by more than half to sit 1.5 seconds behind, leaving the race open to a dramatic finish. Despite an incredible effort, Huisman would cross the line just over a second behind, meaning Andrzejewski became the first Polish rider to win the YZ65 Cup SuperFinale.
Spain’s Vilalta crossed the line third, ahead of Tommy Wood who was able to remount and recover from a small fall to finish fourth for the second year in a row. Francesco Vitale of Italy finished fifth ahead of Greece’s Dimitris Fotopoulos.
Elis Isidorsson was the highest-placed home rider for Sweden in seventh, with Ramon Bernardo Campos Muñoz of Spain taking eighth. Great Britain’s Cameron Berry and Denmark’s Viggo Alhede completed the top ten.
Tymon Andrzejewski : “I am very happy! It was a difficult race, made more difficult by the crash on lap one when Huisman crashed in front of me and I tried to go around and made a mistake myself. But I did not give up, and pushed very hard and I am extremely happy to get the race win.”
