Bou scores eighteenth victory in Barcelona

“Barcelona is always very special and I'm very happy with the victory. We had extra pressure as it was our ‘home’ race and the first lap was very tight, but I felt strong from the start, only making one mistake at Zone 3. After competing in the ‘Superpole’, I had to open up zones in the final, but we managed to recover and, from Zone 2 onwards, we were very consistent. It was a very good race and it is a very positive result for the championship.”

"I rode very well on the first round. I'm very happy with how the start of the race went, although, unfortunately, I had a puncture in the final. The first section went well, but I risked too much in the second by taking too many risks and I got a five. In the end, we got third place, which is a good result, although today we wanted something more. However, in terms of the championship, today's race is very positive. This year's regulations penalise us a lot and we have to try to continue being very consistent, in order to get a little closer to second place in the standings next week in Norway."

“Getting a victory and a third position in Barcelona is very good for the team and for the championship. Toni showed incredible form from the first zone onwards and had a very good final, with just 7 penalty points. As for the overall standings, he is consolidating his lead and opening up a gap ahead of Jaime, who is currently second. Gabri managed to halt the run he was on in the X-Trial World Championship and put in a great performance, especially in the first round, where he only scored one point. It seems that he has managed to turn the situation around and I'm happy with the work of the team. The next race is in just a week's time and the objective will be to return to the top.”
