GasGas Factory Team rider Jaime

Montesa Cota 4RT-mounted team-
mate Gabriel Marcelli was third.
I'm incredibly happy and very
proud of how the night went," Bou
said. "This race is very special for
me, and winning again at home
is something you can't take for
granted, let alone doing it for the
19th time. I want to thank the
team for all their hard work, as
they delivered their best perfor-
mance at Palau Sant Jordi tonight.
We won the first lap, and in the
Superpole we managed to qualify
in the best spot for the final, so
I'm very satisfied with the result
and the level we showed. It's also
a very important victory in terms
of the title, as I'll have my first
chance to win it at the next race in
Chalon-sur-Saone."

Bou completed the first six sec-
