Toni Bou (Montesa Cota 4RT) remains unbeaten in the X-Trial World Championship after winning the Madrid Indoor Trial, held this Saturday in the Community of Madrid Sports Palace for fourth consecutive year, with which the Championship has passed its halfway point. Once again, Toni Bou dominated the three phases of the event, having closed the qualifying lap with just one point and the semi-final with nine, sealing his victory with four points in the definitive lap. With three events to end the championship in which Toni Bou has won the title in its five previous editions, the Montesa rider enlarged his advantage over the second classified to 26 points.
Takahisa Fujinami (Montesa Cota 4RT) defended his options to a podium position up to the last moment, from which he was only two points away. The Japanese rider, who was in the final of the four events held up to now, won 17 points in the qualifying lap and two more in the semi-final, improving significantly in the last lap.
Toni Bou: "I think nobody could say there was a lack of excitement today, because the event was on very difficult zones and was not decided until the last moment. Four victories of four possible and 26 points advantage as a leader clearly show we’re incredibly well prepared. But even so, we’ll continue as always, concentrated on every race as it comes, using the strategy that is giving us such good results".
Takahisa Fujinami: "Again I reached the final and finished two points away from the podium, a result that I’m fully satisfied with, as it was the first day I rode the motorcycle after my hard fall while training on Tuesday. I had some pain in my shoulder, but even so, I managed to find the energy to reach my final position, with options to a podium position until the last moment”.
