Repsol Honda Team rider #tonibou won for the second day running in the #trial at #pobladuradelasregueras, León, to secure a sixth win of the season. Bou increased his lead in the championship standings to 19 points. Fujinami finished seventh.
As had been expected, #tonibou had to struggle somewhat at the #trial in #pobladuradelasregueras today. Opponent Jaime Busto put the pressure on the champion and it wasn’t until the very final sections that the #event swung in favour of the Repsol Honda Team rider. With the triumph, the sixth of the season, #tonibou increases the gap at the head of the overall championship, now holding a 19-point lead over second-placed rider Adam Raga. Bou needs just a single point next Saturday to be crowned 2021TrialGP champion.
Japan’s #takahisafujinami struggled today after being the second rider in the elite category to tackle the sections. “Fujigas” had to make do with virtually no lines of reference from his opponents, leading to a particularly taxing first 12-section lap. On lap two things picked up with the rider eventually going on to post seventh position. Fujinami remains fifth in the world championship standings.
The final #event of the 2021 #trial World Championship will be held next Saturday in Gouveia, Portugal. The following day, Sunday 19, the #trial of Nations is scheduled to take place in the same Portuguese town.

TRIAL: 1ST OVERALL: 1ST
We battled hard throughout the #trial. I made a mistake in section 8 and I knew that section 11 would be my last chance, I took a gamble and it worked out well. Winning in the final sections is an incredible feeling. I want to congratulate Jaime Busto because he was really strong, not just today but all weekend and I think this is very good for #trial. There will be a great final battle with Adam Raga. This is very nice and adds more value to the wins.
I'm 19 points ahead in the general standings, but before the last race in Portugal anything could happen. This week I will have to be careful and for the final race we will have to be very focused so that we don't have any mechanical issues or anything that could prevent us from winning the world championship.
