Bou Dominates Again
R
epsol Honda HRC's Toni Bou
again dominated the FIM
TrialGP of Italy in Camerino, June
20-21, topping both days. The
TrialGP of Italy featured tough
sections that were made tougher
by the hot summer temperatures.
The Montesa Cota 4RT-mount-
ed Bou finished well clear of
runner-up Beta's Matteo Grat-
tarola and Jaime Busto. Honda/
Montesa's Miquel Gelabert and
Bou's Repsol Honda teammate
Gabriel Marcelli rounded out the
top five.
They were all back at it again
the next day, battling amongst
themselves and the heat. Again,
Bou was unfazed and took the
win well clear of Marcelli, who
edged out Busto for the position
despite injuring his hand early in
the day. Gelabert was fourth and
Sherco's Jack Peace completed
the top five. Grattarola slipped
back to sixth.
In the championship, Bou is
running away with it. He's now far
ahead of runner-up Marcelli, 240-
174. But the battle for second is
still up for grabs among Marcelli,
Grattarola and Busto. Just 10
points separate the three riders.
"There's still more than half
the season to go, and this is just
getting started," Bou said. "We've
accumulated a good number of
points in the championship, so
we can't ask for more." CN
