tory for GasGas in the X-Trial World Champion-
ship after the purchase by Torrot. This result
shows that Jaime [Busto] is adapting very well
to the bike. Although he’s only 20 years old,
Jaime made a great job of taking the pressure
in the final. As well as the victory, which is also
important, as team manager, I value how he
managed this situation, being so young, when
facing a great Adam Raga. This allows us to
look to the future in a very positive way and
shows us that we are working in the right direc-
tion. We must congratulate the whole GasGas
family, because this is the work of many people.
Jeroni [Fajardo] had a problem in the first
zone that stopped him from doing a good
round. It was a shame, because he could have
passed to the second, which would have given
him the classification for the Budapest X-Trial.
But we are going to continue working at maxi-
mum power for the next events.”
Raga was pleased with his runner-up finish
in light of the fact that, like Bou, he too was re-
turning to competition after suffering an injury.
Raga had surgery to repair a torn ligament in
his arm in mid-February.
Fujinami rounded out the podium in third,
his best result of the season. The Paris event
marked Fuji-Gas’ 135th indoor event and
overtakes Englishman Dougie Lampkin for the
number of participations in the Indoor World
Championship.
Meanwhile, Scorpa’s Benoit Bincas and Bou
were fourth and fifth.
