Bou Cleans Up In Corsica
T
oni Bou did what he usually
does, and that's win. This
time, he swept the fourth round
of the FIM TrialGP Champion-
ship in Calvi, France, on the Is-
land of Corsica, May 31-June 1.
The Repsol Honda rider rode his
factory-backed Montesa Cota
4RT to victory both days, winning
both "races" both days.
Bou had to overcome a fall
early Saturday, which he said
hindered him the rest of the day,
but he pulled through for the
wins.
"We didn't throw in the towel
and fought until the end, getting
the best reward with another vic
-
tory," Bou said on Saturday.
After struggling in the first
race of the weekend, GasGas
rider Jaime Busto was Bou's
closest competitor over the
weekend, finishing second in
Saturday's race two and in both
races on Sunday.
Sherco's Jack Peace was
second in Saturday's race one
but struggled the rest of the
weekend.
"I'm very happy," Bou said on
Sunday. "After yesterday, which
went so well, it's always difficult
to start again from scratch. The
first lap was incredible, with only
three penalty points, and I felt
very good on the bike. I also felt
comfortable on the second lap,
although I made a couple of mis
-
takes, and the victory was a bit
difficult for me to get. I'm in very
good form at this point of the
season, earning many points."
Bou has a commanding lead
in the championship with 322 to
Busto's 267. Bou's teammate,
Gabriel Marcelli, is third with 230
points, 21 points ahead of Beta's
Matteo Grattarola.
