Toni Bou comes away from the qualifying round in Portugal on top. The Repsol Honda Team ace bagged a third ‘pole position’ of the campaign on the tough urban qualifying section in the centre of Gouveia. ‘Fujigas’ claimed the day’s third best time.
It was a fine day’s qualifying for the Repsol Honda Team duo in Portugal for the fifth #trial of the season. #tonibou and #takahisafujinami made off with first and third places in the elite class competition, which rewards the pair with superior starting positions when the main #event gets underway tomorrow.
Bou once again notched up the fastest times over the two laps of the qualifying section to grab his third pole in 2019. Team-mate #takahisafujinami likewise rode a scorcher, even managing to take the second quickest time in Q1. The second tour around proved to be faster still marking 00:23.5 on the stopwatch to register the third fastest time of the day.
Tomorrow’s main #event kicks off at 09:00 local time in the Parque Senhora dos Verdes, on the outskirts of Gouveia, where riders will have to overcome a total of 15 sections taken over two laps. The final podium is scheduled for 15:45 local time.
