The latest X-Trial World Championship 2019 closed in sensational fashion with the first-ever X-Trial Andorra la Vella providing plenty of action and surprises.
A familiar name came out on top, though, Repsol Montesa Honda's
Toni Bou securing his fifth victory of the season and closing his thirteenth Championship-winning season in style.
In front of a packed crowd in the Poliesportiu då«Andorra Toni Bou put on a masterclass, finishing the entire night with just two dropped marks. One was conceded in the Final, decided before the last section with
Adam Raga accruing a total of eleven. But Raga had been Bouå«s closest competitor all evening, having himself dropped only five marks in Round One and four in the heat stages. Failures in Sections Two and Three proved critical for the TRRS rider, his second fiasco also leading to an injury concern that affected his performance around the remainder of the lap.
‰ÛÏIt was great. I rode at my best, which was important since errors were punished harshly here tonight," Bou said. "I also made sure that the public enjoyed the show, which at the first X-Trial I have ridden in my home here in Andorra was very important to me. There is no better way to close the season than with a spectacular event which the crowd has enjoyed.‰Û
