Young Spaniard Antonio Bou – Repsol Montesa HRC today further demonstrated his ability as he took the win at Sunday’s event, his second of the weekend. This brings his winning tally to three from the first three rounds of the FIM Spea Trial World Championship, giving him an impressive lead early on in the season. Bou was joined on the podium as he was on Saturday, by Adam Raga – Gas Gas and Takahisa Fujinami – Repsol Montesa HRC, but in contrast to yesterday, Raga was second and Fujinami third.
The weather for the second day was, if anything, even hotter than Saturday, with clearer skies resulting in baking sunshine as the riders set off for the first lap. However, the familiar haze soon returned and the humidity set in for the riders and the thousands of local trials fans alike.
It was Bou and Raga who made the running on the first lap, two of only three rider who did not five the treacherous earth-bank climb in section six. The other rider who cleaned that section was Dougie Lampkin – Repsol Montesa HRC, who clearly back on form after yesterday. Fujinami made several mistakes on the first lap, including a dab on section four and what seemed to be the customary three at the eleventh hazard, a climb up a rocky river.
By the end of the first lap, Bou, Raga and Lampkin were extremely close, with just four marks covering them, and Fujinami only three marks further back.
The second lap was another very close affair, but Bou again demonstrated his prowess, cleaning all but one of the fifteen sections to emerge the winner, with a three mark advantage over Raga. Fujinami and Lampkin ended the day on equal points – fourteen apiece, but the final podium position went to Fujinami, who had recorded one more clean than his team mate throughout the day.
In the World Junior championship, season-opener winner Michael Brown – Beta added another victory to his championship tally, finishing the second of the two days with an emphatic win over Frenchman Loris Gubian – Sherco. The Junior category also saw a significant reduction in scores, with Brown losing just fourteen marks, against Gubian’s eighteen. Third place went to yesterday’s winner Alexz Wigg – Gas Gas, just two points behind Gubian.
Through in the Youth championship, competition was again tight, with first round winner Alfredo Gomez – Gas Gas taking the victory from the UK’s Ross Danby – Gas Gas and Patrick Smage – Sherco from the USA again taking third, with just nine marks separating the top three.
The riders now have a well-earned rest, as the championship takes a five week break before returning to Europe for the third round, which will take place at Senez in France on 27th May.
