Arenacross

event at the finish.

the rest of the front-runners
on the back row. Somehow
Peters still managed to come
out third in the first turn and
took over the lead just a lap
later. From there on out it was
trouble for the competition,
as Peters went on to win the
race.
Drake Bailey and Preston

Busto Wins X-Trial In Austria
G
asGas rider Jaime Busto
captured his first FIM
X-Trial victory of the season,
when he came out on top in
round two in Austria, March 11.
Busto's evening didn't get off
to a great start with maximum
scores in the first and last sec
-
tions of the opening lap, end-
ing lap one a full four marks
off the leader's pace. However,
a solid second lap elevated the
25-year-old Spanish star into
second and earned an all-im
-
portant place in the three-man
final where he outdueled de-
fending champ Repsol Honda's
Toni Bou.
"I'm so happy about how
my night has ended," Busto
said. "I didn't make the best of
starts today. I made a couple
of mistakes on lap one and
two, but for the final I started
more concentrated, just think-
ing about riding how I know I
can and not worrying about the
time to complete the sections.
I went out and just felt great on
the bike. I can't be happier to
give GasGas a win."
Third on the night went to
Adam Raga (TRRS).
Despite finishing second
to Busto, Bou still leads the
championship by five points
over Busto, 38-33. Bou's team
-
mate Gabriel Marcelli, fourth
in Austria, is third with 24
points.
