Second place for Bou on the first day of the GP Trial of Andorra

Obviously I made more than the permitted amount of mistakes. In the first lap everything went well. But in the second and third, I made a couple of errors. All the riders are a bit annoyed because the judges didn’t apply the rules well either. The sections were too easy, and we don’t like that. Second place isn’t negative at all, because these are some important points for the championship.

A sixth place wasn’t a bad result, but I wanted to do better. I scored a few faults in what were easy sections and I improved a bit in some of the more difficult ones. I think that maybe the altitude and the heat had an effect and I’m not happy with the way I took some of the sections. Tomorrow I will try and improve on things and consequently get a better result.

This Andorra Trial at altitude and high temperature was pretty difficult for all of us. The sections were changed around on every lap and the route was tricky. It’s my worst result this season and after the great spell that we’ve had, I didn’t expect to finish so far back. Tomorrow I hope to recuperate, to make it through the hazards well, so as not to pick up too many marks. The knee, however, has been perfect.

The trials make themselves complicated when they are too simple and easy. Errors cost dearly because it’s not possible to pull back from them. Today Toni made two faults where he shouldn’t have and he couldn’t make it up after. Adam continues to pressure, pushed hard and won it today. Tomorrow we will have to fight harder and better than this one.
Things didn’t work out well for Fujinami. We congratulated him for his effort in France, but we can’t do the same today. The races at altitude are never easy, but they are the same for everyone. There can be no excuses. As far as Busto is concerned, he’s at this level and is learning. He’s not happy because he didn’t do so well, and that’s a good thing. More effort tomorrow. He’s still in the leaning phase, so sixth isn’t bad.
Tomorrow we have to win. The team is in this championship to win races. They’ll have to come out more motivated and more forceful. Everyone has got to do better.
