Toni Bou (Beta) has achieved his first victory in
the Indoor Trial of Barcelona after having dominated the final in
which he has fight against Albert Cabestany (Sherco) and Adam Raga
(Gas Gas). The Beta rider, who has taken the start in this event
for the fist time in his career, has showed an impeccable riding,
having the win already in his pocket two sections prior to the
end, thanks to having accumulated an advantage of more than 10
points over his competitors.
This is Bou’s second triumph in this season. After Barcelona’s
results, there is only seven points of difference between the
first three classified in the overall standings, so now the fight
for taking the World Crown is closer and more competitive than
ever.
Raga has achieved his ticket to the final as first classified of
the qualifying heat, although he was tied on points with Cabestany,
as he has ended the first lap with better time than his rival.
The Japanese Fujinami (Montesa) has once more proof to be the best
non-Spanish rider and a serious candidate for the podium as he has
kept his chances for achieving a place in the final until the he
has failed in the double-lane. Jeroni Fajardo (Gas Gas) has found
himself out of the fight for the victory for the third consecutive
Grand Prix. The Gas Gas man was forced to change his bike after a
failure in section six, when his chances for achieving a place in
the final were nearly fade away.
T. Bou: “Winning in Barcelona is a dream come true so I am very
happy. This has been my first participation here and now that I
have achieved this victory I feel that I have succeed with one of
the aims in my career. Furthermore, the support of the public has
been fantastic”.
A. Cabestany: “I want to congratulate Toni because he has been
impressive so he really deserved this victory. I must admit I was
not riding at my best level because I have been ill all the week.
Anyway, I think my performance has not been very bad, and the bike
worked very well. The second place is still a good result”.
A. Raga: “I am not very happy because after having done a very
good first lap I committed too many mistakes in the final loosing
my chances to repeat a victory in Barcelona. Bou has been amazing
and I must congratulate him”.
