After victories in Barcelona and Wiener Neustadt, the
X-Trial World Championship
lands in the French city of Marseille, a stage where Toni Bou will defend his solid lead and get closer to the first title of the season.
As was the case in Barcelona,
Jaime Busto
will be a wild-card rider on the French course. The young rider already knows the Palais des Sports in Marseille, where he has previously participated.
Busto came close to making it through the qualifying round at the
Barcelona Indoor Trial
and this time he will fight again to make the cut in the first round. Jaime recognises that “as a guest I shouldn’t have any objective other than to try not to make a mistake that causes me an injury, but I would like to get a good result and qualify”.
This result is especially important for Jaime after his fifth place in the
Spanish Trial Championship held in Mallorca
, where Miquel Cirera, Team Manager of the team, stated that “Toni has done very well, as always, but Jaime… It’s not what he or the team expects.”
