How we had liked to be there, since we the past did in the Madrid Red Bull X-Fighters last year. A magnificent spectacle, as always that Network Bull is implied, and the Andalusian Dani Torres quarter, that is not nothing bad. After more than four weeks with the exhausted entrances, the greater bullring of the world returned to vibrate with the X-Fighters. The 10 better pilots of motocross freestyle, among them the Spanish Dani Torres, once again impressed the 42,000 spectators who met in the bullfighting enclosure for bullfighting of City of Mexico. Mat Rebaud, the Swiss young person of 23 years, made a spectacular task and left by the great door. In addition, for the first time in the history of the FMX, between the judges a bullfigther seated. The famous Mexican matador, Eulalio Lopez Zotoluco, represented the public in the jury, scoring the enthusiasm shown by the respectable one in each task of the pilots.The first surprise at night, was the participation of the Norwegian, but resident in Spain, Andre Villa, who although at first had gone like reserve pilot, was including in the poster of pilots after his good performance during the celebrated sessions of training the previous days. And Andre Villa did not take in demonstrating that that decision was than just more. In the first round he showed an impressive repertoire of tricks, and only world-wide number one, Travis Pastrana, he was able to advance to him in the score. The young pilot Andalusian, Dani Torres, obtained a fourth position in the first round and was able to happen to the semifinal, along with the Americans Travis Pastrana and Ronnie Renner, the Norwegian Andre Villa and the Swiss Mat Rebeaud. But in the second round, Dani 1.5 points were had left to happen to the end and had to be satisfied to a fourth position behind both American and the Swiss Mat Rebeaud. Andre Villa, who appeared like the great opponent of Travis Pastrana, had bad luck: jump underwent a fall in the last and it could not either happen to the end. In the third and last round, the spectacular jumps took pañoladas ovaciones and to the spectators. First in jumping to the rotation it was the favorite of the public and winner of the year last Ronnie Renner, followed by Rebeaud. The Swiss pilot of KTM managed to make a shining race with an incredible precision, showing a repertoire of the most difficult tricks. Thus, he forced Pastrana to increase the level of difficulty - and this time, the best pilot of FMX of the world risked too much. Although he managed to leave the rotation by his own foot, Travis underwent a serious fall and was relegated to a third position. “Our sport is thus”, commented Rebeaud while it celebrated his triumph with a Mexican hat in the head. “I risked and I won. It is an incredible victory. Today it is perhaps the prettiest day of all my life.” The next appointment of the X-Fighters will be next the 14 of September in the Madrilenian enclosure for bullfighting of the Sales. There we will be. ![]() RESULTS RED BULL X-FIGHTERS MEXICO 2006 1. Mat Rebeaud (CH) 2. Ronnie Renner (the USA) 3. Travis Pastrana (the USA) 4. Dani Torres (ESP) 5. Andre Villa (NOR) 6.
