Spanish Repsol Honda Team rider #tonibou, recently crowned FIM X-Trial World Champion in Paris for the twelfth time, will not take part in this season’s final event.
Toni Bou had reappeared in the competition only twenty-seven days after breaking three vertebrae in an X-Trial event in Le Mans. In Paris, Bou returned with a firm determination to mathematically seal the world champion title aboard the bike. Whilst achieving the aim, the Repsol Honda Team rider suffered severe lower back pain, a clear symptom that he was not yet fully recovered. After a recent medical, the rider has taken the decision to sit out the seventh and final event of the FIM X-Trial World Championship to be held this Thursday in #Budapest. Bou will continue with the recuperation process of the injury.
Fifth race of the year for Fujinami
Takahisa Fujinami will, however, participate once more in #Budapest. After finishing on the podium in Paris, the Japanese Repsol Honda Team rider will take part in his fifth world championship #trial this season. Fujigas’ mission is to make the cut for the second phase, with a high-level ride, as he goes in search of a higher position in the championship rankings. Fujinami is currently eighth in the overall X-Trial World Championship standings.
