Double win for Toni Bou in Japan

Fifth is not bad, but with such tight competition today, I could have been up there with Toni again.

During the first day in Japan, mud make things more difficult in a race in which Toni Bou had an unquestionable victory, as he finished with an advantage of 24 points.

Today, he won the race again, although this time with just 2 points of advantage. The several times champion is now leader in the overall standings with 15 points of advantage over the second after three rounds.

Fujinami got on to the third step of the podium at his home country’s GP and today he finished fifth.

Jaime Busto finished both days in sixth place -today he was tied in points with his team mate Takahisa Fujinami–.

It couldn’t be better. Despite suffering a lot today, because the race was very easy and it was possible to make mistakes that might have complicated the final result. But we were able to solve it with a zero in the last zone and win the race. I’m happy I could stand the pressure and I want to thank the team for a great job this weekend. We’ll see how the next races go, but we had a good start of the World Championship.

It was a pity, because I think I was in shape to repeat yesterday’s podium. I had a small issue with the chain in one of the easy zones and that was fatal, because I missed the final prize. Fifth is not bad, but with such tight competition today, I could have been up there with Toni again. Anyway, I’m happy about how the weekend went, about competing again in Japan and the public cheered me from zone 1 to 15. Thank you to all the fans.

Despite being the same result as yesterday, sixth, I think I did a bit better. In the first lap, I got a very strict “5” and I failed a lot in the last zones, which were quite easy. In the second lap, I fell in zone 3 and from then on, I finished with barely a penalty. It’s a pity, because it wasn’t enough to make up for the disaster of the first lap.
