Andrea Adamo is the new 2023 FIM 250 World Champion and with 73 points in the bag can’t lose it next Sunday at Matterley Basin.

In the 250 Championship, Andrea Adamo finished third to Simon Laegenfelder nd Jago Geerts in the first moto and scored  another third in the second moto to secure the 2023 FIM 250 World Championship with one round to go. Adamo’s title was assured when his closest rival, Liam Everts, crashed out of the second moto. Not only did the crash cost Liam Everts his shot at the 250 World Championship, but he slipped from second to third in the points standings as Jago Geerts move up to second in the standings. Amazingly, Jago Geerts, Liam Everts and Simon Laengenfelder will go to the final round in England separated by only four points.
