Bou Wins X-Trial In Andorra
R
epsol Honda's Toni Bou (Mon-
tesa) won round five of the
indoor FIM X-Trial Championship
in Andorra on October 7. The last
X-Trial round was held in early
April prior to the opening round
of the TrialGP World Champion
-
ship, which has since been com-
pleted, with Bou wrapping up the
title last month.
In Andorra, Bou was running sec
-
ond to GasGas rider Jaime Busto
after the first circuit. However, Bou
came back to take the overall win.
"On the first lap, I didn't have
a very good feeling, so for the
second, I changed bikes, and it
was much better," said Bou.
Bou dropped 15 marks overall
to Busto's 26. Bou's teammate,
Gabriel Marcelli, with 30 points,
completed the podium.
"It's been good to get back
competing indoors again, and to
finish as runner-up is very posi
-
tive," said Busto. "Things started
well for me, with no mistakes
at all on the opening lap. That
put me in the lead and in a good
place for the following rounds.
Unfortunately, in the final, I start-
ed with a five; my bike slipped a
little. After such a good start to
the night, it was a little frustrat-
ing, but to finish on the podium
as runner-up is very positive."
