X-Trial Budapest 2020 – Toni Bou’s statements

It was a very, very hard trial. Adam rode very well today. We were able to win the first round, and also the second, which was essential for the final run-off. I gave everything I could in the final, though I didn’t have a very good feeling. I had no balance, but I had the motivation to fight right to the end, getting two zeros in the last two zones after pushing for it, so it went well. I want to congratulate Adam Raga because this year it will be very difficult to beat him.
