Sacha Coenen Takes Southwick Moto 2 Crown

Race Overview

Sacha Coenen flipped the script in the second moto of the Southwick National, grabbing the lead from rival Cole Davies at the halfway point and never looking back. The title contender entered the weekend already riding strong after a dominant win in Moto 1 by more than 30 seconds. A hard crash just three minutes from the flag left Coenen with a 14‑second cushion, yet he managed to remount without surrendering the advantage.

Cole Davies seized the initial transfer, jumping into the top spot ahead of Levi Kitchen, while Coenen kept the field on edge by staying close to the two title contenders. On Lap 1 Coenen pulled ahead of Kitchen, absorbing a three‑second setback but relying on the earlier large margin. The drama intensified when Coenen clashed with Davies on Lap 4, losing another three seconds and nearly crashing.

After the contact Coenen steadied his machine, letting the gap close before overtaking Davies right at the midpoint of the race. He built a comfortable rhythm, surviving a high‑speed crash with three minutes remaining, and returned to the track holding a 14‑second lead. The incident forced Davies into second place in the moto, though a seventh‑place finish in the first race dropped him to third overall.

Finish Line Details

Kayden Minear surged past Levi Kitchen on the final stretch, grabbing third place and stripping the points leader of valuable positions. Kitchen anchored his championship bid with a fourth‑place finish, combining it with a Moto 1 second place to secure overall runner‑up honors. Julien Beaumer rounded out the top five, while Ryder DiFrancesco’s own battle ended early when he crashed on Lap 2.

The victory cements Coenen’s status as the weekend’s standout rider, giving him the overall championship trophy at Southwick. The Southwick National is a pivotal round of the AMA Motocross series, and this double‑moto win showcases Coenen’s consistency under pressure.
