The Repsol Honda Team rider remains unbeaten and achieved eight consecutive victories in the first rounds of the World Championship. Busto and Fujinami improved and finished fifth and sixth, respectively.
At Nord Vue, Great Britain, the fourth round of the FIM Trial World Championship took place and Toni Bou achieved his eighth consecutive 2015 victory – tenth, if we add the last two races of the last season. With these results, the Repsol Honda Team rider matches his best winning streak, which he set in 2012.
Toni Bou dominated from the first lap, when he crushed his rivals with a nearly faultless score despite a fail in zone 3. In the following two laps he improved his results and even finished the race with a lap where he did not receive any penalty point. The second placed, Adam Raga, received 30 points more than the Repsol Honda rider. With these results, Bou increases his advantage in the lead of the World Championship to 34 points over Raga.
The young rider of the Repsol Honda Team, Jaime Busto, stood out again by finishing fifth thanks to a good second lap. His team mate Takahisa Fujinami ended just behind him, in sixth, very few points away.
The next round for the Repsol Honda Team will be the French Grand Prix, that will take place the 27th and 28th of this month.
Toni Bou | 1st, 10 points
“I’m very happy. Today I felt comfortable all the time and I’m very satisfied with my riding. It was a race to remember, with very good second and third laps. I’m very happy with the result and with my winning streak in the World Championship. It’s very difficult to win so many consecutive races, because the pressure is always higher and with the non-stop regulations it’s even more difficult for me. Nevertheless, I’m recovering the 2012 feelings, which was an amazing year, I couldn’t ask for more.”
Takahisa Fujinami | 6th, 84 points
“Today I think I did a very bad performance, especially in the first lap, which was worse than yesterday, because they changes some zones and were even more difficult, because they were very slippery. I had some fails and I lost concentration because I don’t remember ever failing so much in my career. In the second lap I did a bit better, but I think I could have improved a lot more and I’m not happy. I want to forget this result soon and come back strong in France.”
Jaime Busto | 5th, 81 points
“In the first lap it was more difficult because it was very slippery. Then I tried to find a pace that would suit me and I think that, even if it could have been better, it wasn’t too bad. I’m quite happy to leave England with two fifth places, because this race wasn’t easy at all.”
