Bou claims victory in Andorra, the fourth of the season

Today was a similar day to yesterday: I was a little better on the first and second lap. The sections were difficult, so I was able to gain an advantage. On the final lap I took things more to the limit, perhaps, so I am very happy with this victory. I think the key was section five, where I was able to clean, while Adam Raga ‘fived’ it on each lap. I was much more aggressive today than yesterday and this showed in the result. Overall it has been a very positive weekend.

After yesterday's fall in which my shoulder took a blow, I wish to thank the whole team and especially the physiotherapist for helping me to make everything go right today. Today, I started with the same pace that I had yesterday on the second and third lap, more similar to the pace that I am used to in the trials. I made a few mistakes, but I think I have managed to recover from them. It is the first trial that I have felt comfortable with and you can see it in the results, as I narrowly missed out on the podium. Now there are only two trials left, but we are all very tight and there are still possibilities. We will give it everything in those final trials.

Toni has returned to riding the way we are used to. We have regained that very important points advantage ahead of the final trials in order to win the championship. Fujinami, meanwhile, had a very good trial, he rode the way he had to ride and missed out on the podium by two points, but that’s the way trials go. Now, we have to rest for a couple of weeks and recover well to be able to go to Italy and tackle the final trials of the championship.
