Cabestany Beats Bou!
By TMX Archives on 26th Jun 12
Repsol Montesa rider Toni Bou didn't win a World Trial GP! Two fives on his second lap demoted him to a lowly fourth place behind winner, Sherco main-man Albert Cabestany.
The second day of the Andorra World Trial GP saw Cabestany reap the reward of pushing hard all weekend to claim his first GP win since the same event in 2006. Jeroni Fajardo was a major benefactor at the low scoring Andorra event too. With two solid second places over the two days the Beta factory rider holds a healthy position in the hard fought battle for second in the championship, along with third placed finisher Adam Raga. That's assuming Bou doesn't have another weekend like this of course!
British finishers were headed by James Dabill, who was sixth some way back from fifth placed Takahisa Fujinami. Michael Brown was just two points behind Dibs in seventh. Jack Challoner was 11th and Alexz Wigg unlucky in 13th.
France's Alexandre Ferrer clinched the 2012 FIM Junior Trial World Title in Andorra with three rounds still remaining and despite placing fifth today. Benoit Dagnicourt was the Junior victor on day two, as he finished six marks ahead of Jorge Casales who again filled the second step of the podium. Britain's Jack Sheppard, still not 100 per cent fit, made a welcome return to the rostrum in third position. Sheppard sits fifth in the championship.
French rider Steven Coquelin took top honours in the Youth category narrowly defeating Britain's Bradley Cox after a day long battle. Third place went to Norwegian Sverre Lundevold. Luke Walker missed out on a tie-break to finish fifth.
