BUSTO’S NEW VERTIGO DEAL
Vertigo recently announced its new deal with Jaime Busto. After joining the
factory team in the middle of the 2019 campaign, Busto will continue to ride
green at least until 2021 after signing a two-year contract extension, with an
optional third one.
The rider from Vizcaya is known as one of the hottest talents on the inter-
national trial scene. Despite being only 21 years old, he already has plenty of
experience competing in the premier class of the indoor and outdoor series,
where he has proved his amazing talent and great determination to reach
the peak of the sport. Although he joined Vertigo just a few days before the
2019 TrialGP World Championship season opener, Busto has finished 4th in the
standings with a fantastic 2nd place as season’s best in France. In the Spanish
Championship was able to record Vertigo’s maiden victory in the premier class
in Entrimo, and is currently sitting in 2nd place with just one round remaining.
“I’m stoked to extend my partnership with Vertigo,” said Busto. “After a year
getting used to the new bike I feel we’ve reached a great level going into the
next season. I’m sure we are gonna get top results. The bike works really well,
and thanks to Vertigo’s engineers it is still improving despite already being
super competitive. I’m motivated and I strongly believe next season will be a
great one”. n
