Toni Bou makes it five in a row in Bilbao

Repsol Honda Team rider Toni Bou has taken the victory at the fifth round of the FIM X-Trial World Championship in Bilbao making it his fifth win in a row for the season.

For the third Round in succession, rival Adam Raga (TRRS) took the X-Trial to a decisive Final Section.

Raga put in his best performances in the opening two Rounds, getting the better of Bou by four marks in the preliminary phase then three during the Heats. But the pendulum swung back to Bou in the Final, when Raga suffered the first fiasco of the lap and dropped four marks behind. Bou survived a scare in the penultimate Section, falling heavily with the bike following him to the ground, when Raga also failed the hazard.
