The final race of the season played out on idyllic trial terrain conditions. With the title freshly clinched yesterday, Toni Bou once again dominated the day from start to finish to snatch a sixth win of the season.
Meanwhile, Japanese rider Takahisa Fujinami, was struggling to find the right sensations and ended up posting eighth position. Fujigas thus wraps up the 2020 TrialGP World Championship with seventh overall position in the final standings.
This final trial in Italy brings the curtain down on this short TrialGP world competition for the Repsol Honda Team.
TrialGP Italy 2020, day 2 – Rider statements
“I am super happy with the weekend here in Italy. Today, after winning the title yesterday, I was able to enjoy a splendid day with some fairly good riding, especially on the third lap which brought out the best of me and I only picked up two marks. Thank you all for this perfect season.”.
“Today I was very motivated after the good feelings from yesterday’s trial and the final day in Andorra, but we weren’t able to continue on the right track. It was pretty tight for points between all the riders and in the end I had to settle for eighth today. I’m not very happy about it really: finishing the World Cup in seventh position is not what I had wanted at the start of the championship. This season has been very different from what we are normally used to with four consecutive weeks of trials and two days consecutive events, but still, I am happy to have ridden my 25th season in the world championship with the best team and partner I could have”.
