Maintaining his unbroken run of podium nishes in the #2023fimtrialworldchampionship, #gasgas Factory Racing’s #jaimebusto recorded a solid third on the opening day of this weekend’s TrialGP of San Marino before backing it up with a strong runner-up result on Sunday. There were also positive performances in Trial2 where defending champion Sondre Haga claimed his rst victory of the season on day one, backing it up with second on day two behind fellow #gasgas supported rider Jack Dance.
Jaime Busto maintains his 100 per cent podium record in San Marino Defending Trial2 champion Sondre Haga runs 1-2 at Baldasserona Jack Dance claims debut Trial2 victory on day two
Heavy rain leading into round four of the series at Baldasserona made conditions very slippery with mud being dragged onto the huge boulders in a normally dry riverbed that made up much of the course.
Busto started the opening day with a pair of cleans before two frustrating ves forced him to dig deep, recovering well to end the rst lap tied for second. Soaking up the pressure on lap two, the 26-year-old kept his cool to claim his seventh-straight podium nish of the season with third.
With conditions even tougher after torrential overnight rain, Busto started day two with a positive mindset and led comfortably at the halfway stage before defending champion Toni Bou managed to reel him in with just a handful of sections to go.
The result means Busto is still very much in title contention and lies just eight points off the championship lead heading into next weekend’s TrialGP of Andorra.
Defending Trial2 champion Sondre Haga had struggled with injury at the rst three rounds of this year’s championship, but the Norwegian was ghting t and back to top form to claim a dominant seven-mark victory on the opening day in San Marino.
The 24-year-old had to settle for second on day two following another very strong ride, but #gasgas still topped the podium as British teenager Jack Dance claimed a dazzling debut win in the class.
Jaime Busto: “The weekend was good for me, but I was lacking some feeling in the river sections because when the water is not clear and I can’t see where my front wheel is going I do not feel very condent. Anyway, I managed to nish both days on the podium so that is good. I started Sunday with a really good feeling and I did a good job on the rst lap and everything was looking positive, but I made some mistakes on the second lap and Toni was not making mistakes so he got the win.”
