to get through the section that nobody
managed; my back in particular started
to hurt. Adam made things very diffi-
cult for me in the Final and the level of
the event was very high. Victories like
today´s are crucial in the context of the
Championship.”
Bou remains second in the standings
after the Montpellier round.
“It´s been a very difficult competition,
and I´m really satisfied with my result
because I was in contention right to the
end, and I also won the second round,”
said Raga. “This second position is the
best way to start the month of January,
which will be very intense with three
events in three weeks.”
Newly singed Gas Gas rider, Jeroni
Fajardo rounded out the podium.
“Getting back on the podium is great
news,” said third place finisher Fajardo.
“I´m really happy, because it shows
what great work we´re doing. The new
bike is working really well, and I´ve
adapted well to it. It´s been a great day
which I want to dedicate to my family
and everyone who has supported me.”
