Toni Bou gets the TrialGP World Championship off to a spectacular start
Toni Bou opened the #TrialGP campaign as leader in Camprodón. Repsol #Honda Team team-mate Takahisa Fujinami posted a well-deserved eighth place in spite of a nagging shoulder injury.
After yesterday’s first qualifying round of the season, where Bou finished eleventh after a costly mistake; today the champion rose to the occasion and reversed his fortunes with a fine performance.
Sunday’s #trial over an eight-kilometre, fifteen-section course proved to be a tough ride given the weekend’s weather conditions. The two laps were marked by intermittent but intense rain, with riders forced to negotiate delicately the perilously muddy conditions of the route. The difficulties brought out the best of #tonibou whose triumph establishes him as the season’s first overall leader.
The second lap saw Bou struggle through a rough patch, although the rider quickly bounced back to seal the #trial victory with a seventeen-point advantage over the nearest second place rival.
Bou’s Repsol #Honda Team team-mate Takahisa Fujinami braved severe shoulder pain, but nevertheless managed to overcome a lack of arm movement to score an eighth place finish.
The next #TrialGP World Championship round will be held at the Motegi circuit in Japan, over two days. Qualifying is scheduled for June 1st, with the main event over the two following days.
