Busto’s strong performance gave Gas Gas a podium
in his first ride for the marquee.
“It was a great debut with the new team and the
new bike, I felt comfortable from the beginning, and
reaching the final is the result of the excellent work
of the GasGas team,” said Busto.
Jeroni Fajardo (GG) was fourth behind Raga, while
James Dabill (Beta) claimed an excellent fifth
position after struggling to overcome a five
in the first zone. Local entry Benoit
Bincaz impressed in the first phase
of competition delighting the fans
with a sixth.
