Cole Davies wins Unadilla 250 Moto 2 as Levi Kitchen passes 31 riders on his way to sixth
Levi Kitchen was ridden off the track on the first lap and fell back to 38th and he reversed his direction to get back on course.
In the Unadilla National's Moto 2, Cole Davies emerged victorious following a chaotic first turn. His strong start allowed him to navigate the inside of teammate Kayden Minear, who took a wide approach, causing Levi Kitchen and Julien Beaumer to lose control and drop off the track, finishing the race in 37th and 38th place respectively.
Kitchen regained his footing on Lap 2, moving from 15th to 10th, and continued his momentum throughout the race. He passed Alex Larwood for seventh place and went on to pass Pierce Brown for seventh two laps later, securing the points lead. In the final moments, Kitchen caught Australian rider Brodie Conolly and passed him with one lap remaining, placing him fifth overall and adding a point to his championship total.
Conolly, however, refused to back down and reclaimed fifth place in the final turn. Chance Hymas took second in Moto 2 with a substantial lead over third place. Hymas had expressed a preference for accumulating points rather than securing wins, but he remained focused on advancing his championship position. Ryder DiFrancesco and Carson Mumford rounded out the top five, with Mumford finishing four places behind Hymas in Moto 2. Moto 1 results and subsequent Moto 2 results as well as overall rankings were not yet available.
