Fifteen wins, an 87-point lead, and he wraps it up by finishing second in the opening heat of the penultimate round. Of all the runaways I've watched trackside, this is the kind made dull by sheer merit. EMX250 is a shop window for future GP riders — the way Garcia loads the bike and gels with Kawasaki lets you already see who'll come shopping for him next year.

Skovbjerg locks in second. Husqvarna's development is doing good work too.

Honestly with a gap this big the finale feels like a dead rubber.

EMX250 is the GP gateway. Where Garcia goes next year is the real story.

Sealing it at Arnhem has drama. Taking the title on that home sand is hot.

15 wins and an 87-point lead — that's runaway to the extreme.

Running away with it on a Kawasaki proves the rider-machine fit really clicked.
