In a demanding X-Trial, the opening Round
scores were inevitably high for the three nomi-
nated riders in Marseille. Téo Colairo (Gas Gas)
put in plenty of efforts but failed to complete
any of the sections on his debut, Luca Petrella
(Beta) could only claim eighth on countback,
and Alexandre Ferrer (Sherco) nursing a knee
injury fell just three marks short of progres-
sion.
“It´s been as demanding as it has enjoyable,”
said Bou. “ This was my first chance to claim
the Championship and I took it, even though
it wasn´t easy. The sections meant we had to
give our absolute best, and that meant the
spectators enjoyed the show. But I was keen
to claim the title here and avoid being under
pressure in X-Trial Andorra, where there were
will already be enough expectation as it is my
home race. Now I know that we will be there
to celebrate, and I hope to win in front of my
fans to finish the season.”
