Bou confirms title with win in Madrid

I'm super happy about tonight. In Madrid, at the home of Repsol, it was important for us to win the title. Furthermore, I won all three rounds and we had a very exciting final, where Gabri made things very difficult for me. Leaving here with a one-two finish is incredible and winning the 34th title is even more so.
Winning a title with a victory is the best thing, although the important thing is always to get the title. We started the final very well in Zone 1, but we made a mistake in Zone 2 and it made life very difficult. The area where the difference was made was Zone 4, because it was very difficult to overcome that obstacle, but I am very happy to have achieved it and to have tied with Gabri. Winning on the last zone was amazing.

Today my riding was very good and I managed to stay with Toni throughout the final, even going ahead in some cases. In the end we finished with another second position, which is a super positive result and I am very happy about it, as we were just two points behind Toni. Everything was decided on the last section, so it was very exciting both for us and for the fans who came out in Madrid to see us. Taking another podium is very positive and it allows me to stay third in the championship, so I am very happy with how the season is going.

The most important thing today is the title achieved by Toni. Getting 34 titles is incredible! Many congratulations to him. Gabri was also impressive, and he was on the verge of winning. Today there were no team orders and until the last obstacle in the last area it was clear that he tried to win. He has shown that he is at that level and that he is going to look to be World Champion in the future, so I am very happy. I want to thank HRC, Honda, Repsol and all the sponsors, because their support is vital for us being here celebrating a new success with this incredible team, to whom I also have to thank for all their effort and hard work. It's a success for everyone, so thank you.
