32 world test titles, 16 domestic and 16 foreign They are not enough for the best driver in the history of the amazing type of motorcycling, for the most successful of all time in the world of motorcycling. At 36 years old, Toni Bou continues to write his own legend, adding non-stop victories and titles year after year. He never gets tired. You want to repeat. This is what he has been doing since he won his first scepter in 2007. And with that goal he went all this Sunday in Barcelona, World Indoor X-TrialThe 46th edition of Trials Indoor Motorcycles Only that this Sunday won again. The pilot of Repsol Honda Team (HRC) conquered Barcelona for the 16th time.
The man from Piera repeated his victory in front of 7,2000 fans gathered in a Palau Sant Jordi which was again a real party, who all applauded the best of all time, this time for a Amazing comeback after a bad start to the day for him.
Bou he did not collapse after a first mistake, he showed himself under pressure, without failing when another mistake could leave him, and he completed his great work by defeating his teammate in the final in HRC Gabriel Marcelli (2nd) and his former partner and current GasGas rider, Jaime Busto (3rd).
initial mistake
The afternoon started off in the worst possible way for Toni. The point that presented the most complications for everyone was the initial climb to the entrance to the first zone. The champion also choked, starting with a fiasco (5 penalty points) on that first gas hit. From there, another 5 points in the remainder of the first round or the entire second round could leave him in the final. He was against the ropes and admitted to being very nervous.
“It was difficult to start with a 5 in zone 1. Everything fell to me. I knew that I could not fail that lap and almost certainly in the second lap I had to climb the same point and not fail anywhere to enter the final”. But the audience saw something different from their seats, a Toni who had reinvented herself in a big way. In the second round he won the game in that complex area and finished heat 2 with only 1 point, turning the tables in the first overall position. They will face in the final the rider from Górliz (Vizcaya) Jaime Busto and his HRC partner, the Galician Gabriel Marcelli, who was the star of the big surprise of the day by eliminating the current world runner-up Adam Raga (TRRS) after a tie on points.
A ‘save’ worth a win
Bou he had to swim against the current again from the start in the grand finale. He added 5 more points in that tough first inning and from then on he knew he couldn’t fail. He was about to do so at a crucial moment.
His rivals made another very difficult tackle mistake, in zone 3 (at 6) and Bou looked like he would make the same mistake. He jumped, stayed halfway, and to everyone’s shock, he fell back to the ground, balancing on his motorcycle. Anyone in his place will put their feet up and say goodbye to victory. Not Tony, who he managed to hang on to try again and reach the top. The public went crazy. He did it again, he assumed the lead and was going to win big, epically. He is now the leader of the World Cup. The champion wants to continue to reign. It started in the best way.
Within Women’s Trophythe only female Trial Indoor competition in the world, Emma Bristow prevailed over Naomi Monner and the local pilot Berta Abellanwho achieved third position in the home event.
