Justin Bogle triumphs at SX Barcelona and the Freestyle is massive at the Palau Sant Jordi

Yesterday in Barcelona hosted the biggest Supercross and Freestyle event of the moment, with more than 10,000 spectators the Palau Sant Jordi came alive with the best riders from both two-wheel disciplines, so anticipation on the track was at its peak.

This 2019 marked the 21st edition of the event, which was also part of the Supercross Tour calendar, specifically its sixth round of the season, so the tension and action among the competitors was even greater. The main star of SX1, Justin Bogle, arrived as the favorite and confirmed it on track, winning both finals. In the first race he finished ahead of Cédric Soubeyras, and in the second, ahead of Nicolas Aubin. Bogle therefore took the overall win, followed by Aubin on the podium. In the face-to-face, Aubin delivered the big surprise and beat Bogle in an exciting two-lap shootout.

The best of our riders was Joan Cross, who finished 14th in both finals, ahead of Jorge Zaragoza. Neither of them was fully satisfied, especially Cross, who finished fifth at this event last year, so they will have to keep working for the next edition.

The Kawasaki Team Green Cup, the single-make cup open to all those fans who wanted to compete in the best environment and setting, was won by Alejandro Campoy, with Antonio J. Pallarés second and Joan D. Rossell third. Finally, in the SX125 2T category we saw Gerard Congost take the victory, being the best in both finals; French rider Killian Poll finished second overall, followed by Diego Torrijo.

Also present was the best of the best in Freestyle, undoubtedly the most spectacular discipline of two-wheel sports, with the two main stars Ackermann and Pagés, both of whom landed an incredible frontflip in Barcelona for the first time. And it wasn’t only those jumps on show: all the participants gave everything to get every spectator at the Palau Sant Jordi on their feet, on a magical night in Barcelona.
