for the day's overall win, but it did give
the Repsol Honda team a 1-2 finish.
This time, Busto couldn't mount a
comeback in the second lap but in-
stead endured several fives en route to
sixth place on the day, severely hurting
his chances of dethroning Bou for this
year's championship.
"Day two was tough," Busto said.
"I felt good with my riding but with
some fives at the start of the first lap I
needed another good second lap. But
the second lap was not good. More
fives and a really bad day."
Bou's nine-mark total for the day
ensured the Spaniard the win over
Marcelli with 18 marks.
Raga placed third, ahead of Vertigo
rider Miquel Gelabert and Grattarola.
Bou is all but ensured a record-
breaking 17th title. He leads Busto by
29 points going into the final round af
-
ter the championship's summer break.
Marcelli is 39 points behind Busto in
third.
The final round takes place in
France, September 1-3.
