Jaime Busto
and Gas Gas have decided to terminate the contract by mutual agreement,
according to this statement
. Without going into speculation about whether it is the rider or the brand who has forced the decision and the reasons that have motivated it, the truth is that a week before the start of the world championship, one of the riders with the most talent and ability to assault the title changes brands.
Jaime rode Gas Gas for most of his time as a junior, then went through Beta before making the big jump to the official HRC team alongside Toni Bou and Takahisa Fujinami. If one thing is clear, it is that Jaime has an innate aptitude for riding a motorcycle and especially in Trial. His maturity as a rider has materialized in victories and constant presence in the fight for the podium. Now Jaime is one of the favorites in every race he participates in.
Probably getting off his Gas Gas a week before the start of the world championship is not the best way to start the 2019 season, where his aspiration is to improve on the fourth final position of last season, where he also achieved
a
victory in Japan. But Jaime has also shown adaptability and a talent that overcomes adversity in a surprising way.
JAIME BUSTO AND VERTIGO TOGETHER IN 2019
It seems practically confirmed that Jaime will be riding a
Vertigo Vertical R
next week in Pietramurata (Italy), although there is no confirmation from official sources and the news should be taken with a grain of salt.
In any case, for Vertigo it is a spectacular opportunity to assault the podium on a regular basis and complement the great work that Jorge Casales is doing, who is increasingly regularly in “top 5” positions.
