four hours and 30 minutes. Rob-
erts followed in front of six-time
winner Neely, Walton, Thompson
and Shirey. They were the only
riders to complete six laps.
Matt Veerkamp was the Vet
Pro winner in ninth overall.
Sunday's racing was for Begin-
ners, Masters, Vintage bikes
and, new for this year, Adventure
bikes. Those riders weren't sub-
jected to the full course from the
previous day, but they still had
some challenging terrain to deal
with. That race was three hours
in length and also had a turnout
of around 400 riders.

Bou Champ Again
T
he X-Trial event in Andorra, April 27, marked
the final round of the 2019 FIM X-Trial World
Championship. Toni Bou, the Repsol Honda Team
rider, with the championship already mathemati-
cally sealed, was able to savor the 13th title in front
of the home Andorran spectators.
The Repsol rider, making his debut in an
Andorra X-Trial event, arrived on the back of four
2019 Championship victories with the title already
bagged after winning the Marseille trial, a month
and a half ago. Bou was able to ride without pres-
sure and command the trial to claim a fifth win of
the season. Bou cleaned the first two rounds and
later picked up just a single point, compared to the
11 of rival Adam Raga, in the final.
This marks a career 75th podium place for
Toni Bou and victory number 62 for the multi-time
Spanish champion. CN
