On The Pegs Vol. 4 Issue 3 - March 2019 P 137 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. RESULTS 1. Adam Raga (TRS) 13 2.
