Fajardo by a single point.
“In the first round I felt comfortable but I failed
in a couple of areas,” said Busto. “In the second
round I had to open the areas and slipped a lot,
so it was difficult for me to have references. In
the end we fought for the third and fourth places
with Jeroni, and I am satisfied with my first podi-
um of the year. I hope to improve in the next race
and keep fighting for the championship”.
Fajardo was disappointed at missing the po-
dium but pleased with his performance.
“In general, I did well,” said Fajardo. “We were
close to the rest of the riders throughout the
race. In the final with Jaime, I went ahead and
tried not to make many points, in fact, I only had
a 5 in zone 3, which was very difficult, and where
Jaime also had a fiasco. I tried to push him to the
maximum until the end, but he saved a point
more than me”.
The third event of the X-Trial World Champion-
ship is scheduled for Saturday February 16th at
the Bizkaia Arena (Bilbao Exhibition Center) in
Barakaldo.
