Jaime Busto gets closer to CET title after winning in Entrimo

The Spanish Trial Championship resumed its activity after the summer break and with the Trial World Championship already concluded. The event took place in the Galician municipality of Entrimo in charge of the Moto Club Trial Entrimo, which designed a well-structured race, with areas of high obstacles and a lot of spectacularity, although without excessive difficulty for the leading TR1 riders.

In sporting terms, the excitement of the top category was to see if Jaime Busto could open more distance at the front of the general classification and, thus, arrive at Camprodón with less pressure. Finally, mission accomplished, although their rivals did not make it easy for them, especially in the second round.

Jaime Busto took the victory with a total of 8 points followed by Gabriel Marcelli with 11 and Adam Raga, who completed the podium in the top category, with 16. The GasGas rider’s first lap was almost perfect, adding only 1 penalty to Marcelli’s 11 and Raga’s 14. In the second pass both Gabriel and Adam were better than Jaime but the Basque driver’s magnificent initial lap took him directly to the top step of the podium.

According to Jaime Busto: “I felt very good and very motivated from the beginning of the race, holding up very well on the bike during the first lap, despite being very slippery ground in all areas, as I only made a mistake in one of the twelve zones, which cost me a penalty point, While in the second lap I made one mistake too many, but in spite of that I got the victory, which was the goal I had set myself in this appointment, which brings me closer to the title, and thus face the last appointment with a little more tranquility”.

For his part, Gabriel Marcelli said: “Today went quite well, we were looking for the victory, but in the end it was not possible, although I am satisfied with second place. On the first lap I had a puncture, I was too nervous in the first zones and I made some mistakes. But luckily, in the second lap I took off the pressure and nerves and did a better lap with 0 points. The goal in Camprodon will be to fight for the victory and the sub-championship, although the rivals will not make it easy, but we will give our best version”.
