The trial was the 139th participation for Taka-
hisa Fujinami in an X-Trial World Championship
event – an outright record in this competition.
The Japanese rider accomplished his mission
of qualifying for the second phase and went
on to post an upbeat fifth overall position.
Repsol Honda Team will participate next
weekend in the second round of the Campe-
onato de España de Trial (Spanish Trial Cham-
pionship) which will take place in Sant Julià de
Lòria, also in Andorra. Bou is the leader of the
national contest after winning the inaugural
race.
“It was a difficult race for me with the pres-
sure of competing at home, but I’m very ex-
cited to win,” said Bou. “In my first year as a
resident in Andorra I lost both outdoor races,
so I had this one outstanding. The trial was
pretty easy, so we had to concentrate to not
make any mistakes. I performed well through-
out the event, riding great confidence. I am
very happy as I think we managed to find the
physical point that I had been lacking. Finish-
ing the championship with five out of six pos-
sible victories is spectacular.”
