Denmark's Nicolai Skovbjerg (Husqvarna) won the EMX250 round at Lommel after championship leader Francisco Garcia missed the race with a training injury, narrowing Garcia's lead from 104 to 74 points with three rounds left. William Askew (Triumph) and Francesco Bellei (KTM) took their first EMX250 podiums in second and third.

I don't love the framing that the gap only closed because Garcia was hurt and missing. Skovbjerg just calmly beat whoever was in front of him. Watch how he rides chasing that 74-point gap over the last three rounds before you judge this one. Riders who win quietly like this usually turn out strongest in the back half of a season.

The gap only closed because Garcia wasn't even there, right?

Still, 104 down to 74 with three rounds left is a real comeback margin
