an arm injury on day two . What happened , when did it happen and how is it now ?
Toni Bou : “ The first day my arm started to hurt and on Sunday it got worse . I suffered a lot but I still managed to finish on the podium . According to the specialist , it comes from an old injury from 2016 when I injured my shoulder . I trust that the rest [ after Andorra ] went well and that I can perform almost 100 per cent in Italy .”
TrialGP : Until day two in France you had not been beaten since June 2018 . How disappointing was it to finish third ? We know all great champions hate to lose …
Toni Bou : “ It is true that I do not like to lose but I would say that disappointing is not the exact word , especially because of the condition that I was in . I was worried because I was physically unable to ride as I wanted to . I had no strength in my arms , I couldn ’ t control the bike . Finishing on the podium was already a feat .”
TrialGP : You lead Adam by 10 points heading into the Italian TrialGP – will you still ride to win or are you tempted to play it safe and think of the championship ?
Toni Bou : “ Whenever I ride , I do it to win . As we all do . I don ’ t think that any driver , with a chance of winning , doesn ’ t do it . In some cases playing it safe is not always the best option .”
TrialGP : You are very active on social media and on your videos always look to be having great fun – is enjoying Trial the main reason for your incredible run of titles ?
Toni Bou : “ You could say that . I like to have fun and enjoy myself with the bike , with friends .” n
