BOU WINS AGAIN IN FRANCE
J
ust three rounds into the
2018 X-Trial Championship
and Repsol Honda's Toni Bou
has won all three of them, his
latest victory coming in Tou-
louse, France, January 19.
Bou led the three phases
of the competition; he was
the best in the qualifying
round, led his group in the
semi-finals against Beta's
Miquel Gelabert and GasGas
rider Jamie Busto, and beat
TRRS rider Adam Raga in the
final.
"I did a good job today de-
spite having very tired arms,"
said Bou who suffered an
injury a week earlier. "I knew
that it was difficult to fix from
one week to the next, and it
will be difficult for the following
weekend, too, when we have
to compete again. But I man-
aged to overcome it and in the
final I felt much better and the
event worked out just right. I am
delighted to take the victory in
Toulouse, one of the best and
most important trials. It is also
very important to have won these
three consecutive victories." CN
