GasGas back on the podium in Marseille
Jeroni Fajardo gets up onto the second level of the podium after fighting in the final of the next-to-last round of the X-Trial World Championship.
If in Granada it was Jaime Busto’s turn, this time in Marseille it was Jeroni Fajardo who fought tooth and nail for victory until the last minute. His splendid performance at the Palais Des Sports brought GasGas back onto the podium in what was, without a doubt, the most demanding event seen up to now in the X-Trial 2019 World Championship.
Jaime Busto and Jeroni Fajardo made it through to the second round in fifth and sixth places. This was after a qualifying round where the rider from Girona led the first group with only 16 points and so managed to get direct access to his first final of the season.
After an intense final, Fajardo took his GasGas TrialGP 300 to the second level of the podium. This result brings the rider from Girona to fourth place overall, just 3 points from his teammate Jaime Busto, third in the table after finishing sixth today.
Andorra la Vella is to host the last of the six events of the 2019 X-Trial World Championship on April 27th
“Today we got back onto the second level of the podium just as we did in Granada. After the Bilbao event, we set ourselves the goal of entering the final and getting a victory. We completed the first, in Granada with Jaime and in Marseille with Jeroni, and now we have an opportunity to achieve a victory like Jaime did last year. In Andorra, we will fight for it and get the third position of the championship.”
