This marked Bou‰Ûªs tenth win of the season and gave Fujinami an outside chance of becoming vice World champion with one counting day to go, although he would have to rely on Raga, Cabestany and Fajardo all having a bad second day if this was to transpire.
Heavy overnight rain and persistent showers throughout the opening lap on Sunday forced the organisers to make some changes to the sections to cope with the now sodden ground. Despite the changeable weather, Bou showed no signs of being effected by the various downpours as remain feet up through the initial thirteen hazards.
Section fourteen proved to be unlucky for Bou as he took a heavy tumble within sight of the flags and collected his only five of the day. He soon recovered to finish the lap on six marks in total, which put him eight ahead of Raga who was his closet rival at this point.
Bou and Raga matched each other mark for mark on the closing fifteen hazards, both recording scores of six as conditions dried under the afternoon sun. This was more than sufficient for the Spanish pairing to take the top two spots on day two respectively as James Dabill riding his Beta, recorded his first ever podium placing by finishing in third position.
Fajardo and an off-form Cabestany rounded out the top five on this occasion, whilst Fujinami could only end the season with sixth place, this being his worst result of the 2012 campaign.
‰ÛÏThis has been a fantastic weekend, and a great way to bring the championship to an end with another double victory." exclaimed Bou.
"Yesterday was strange, as I had no pressure, with me having won the title already. Although I won, I was not riding at my best.
"Today was different, the sections were slightly easier even with the bad weather, and my riding was much better." he added.
"Now I can enjoy my holiday. I will go to Mexico for 10 days and then when I return I will begin my training again so I can be ready for the other competitions we have before the end of the season. ‰Û
