Bou second and Marcelli fourth on Day 2 of Japanese TrialGP

“It was a difficult day for us, with many problems on the first lap. We picked up two fives for stopping, made many mistakes and I even thought that we would have to fight for second position. At the end of the second lap we had the opportunity to challenge for the victory and we were tied, but we were second due to time. Jaime performed at a high level today and when you make so many mistakes you can't win. In the next race I have to be very focused because the title battle is very close, not make mistakes and get back to our best."

“Today things didn't turn out as we would have liked. We achieved a fourth place that has a slightly bittersweet taste. I had a very bad first lap, in which I made a lot of mistakes, but luckily I was able to recover a lot on what I consider to be a good second lap. We take home two fourth positions from the weekend that were not what we were looking for. The positive is that we are still in the battle for the Top 3 in the championship and we have learned a lot from this weekend. Everyone has treated us very well here and the Japanese fans made me feel very well supported."

"Today I didn't expect so many fives from Toni on the first lap and I think it was because of the non stop system, which is very difficult to control. Although you accept the decision it is very hard psychologically for the rider. In the second section he was able to fight for the victory against Jaime, because he had two five in the last sections, but finally he was second by only 30 seconds. We have to accept it and fight in the next race. Regarding Gabri, he was very close to the podium today, more than yesterday. It was a pity the first lap because he made a lot of mistakes but I'm still happy with the mentality he has this year, he has the mentality to always be on the podium and that's important".
