TrialGP Italy: Bou Dominates, Busto Triumphs in Slippery Showdown

Repsol Honda’s Toni Bou and GasGas Factory rider Jaime Busto showcased their skills at the TrialGP of Italy in Valsassina on June 15-16. Despite challenging early rain that intensified the difficulty, Bou took an early lead after the first lap with 22 points riding the Montesa Cota 4RT. By the second lap, with improved weather conditions, Bou delivered a near-flawless performance, securing his fifth consecutive victory of the season. Following closely behind were Matteo Grattarola on the factory Beta in second place, Bou’s teammate Gabriel Marcelli in third, with Sherco’s Adam Raga and Jaime Busto also delivering strong performances.

Sunday marked the emergence of a new winner as Jaime Busto excelled in slippery conditions, clinching the day’s victory over Toni Bou by four points. Matteo Grattarola secured third place, followed by Adam Raga and Gabriel Marcelli.

“It’s an incredible feeling being back on the top of the podium,” Busto remarked after Sunday’s win. “I made some mistakes, but I focused on minimizing errors and it paid off.”

Despite the setback, Bou remained optimistic, saying, “Today was not our day…but the best thing is to finish second when things are not going well.”

With three rounds completed, Bou maintains a comfortable lead in the Championship standings with 117 points, ahead of Busto with 90 points in second place. Adam Raga holds third place with 81 points.
