Toni Bou continues his streak of good results. Marcelli completes the podium and consolidates third place overall.

The return of the Indoor Trial World Championship could not have gone better for the Repsol Honda Trial Team. Toni Bou picked up from where he left off before the mid-year break and won the event. Gabriel Marcelli accompanied him on the podium in third place.

Bou started the first lap making some mistakes that led him to picking up 4 penalty points, going into second position behind Jaime Busto. The Repsol Honda Trial Team rider used his experience and rode an impeccable second lap in which he incurred only one point, reaching the final at the head of the classification. Facing Marcelli and Busto, he continued in the same vein and took another victory -his fourth so far this season.

Marcelli started the second part of the 2023 season with a podium. On the first lap, a fiasco on Zone 3 took him down to third position, but on the second lap the Montesa Cota 4RT rider maintained a high level that has led him to compete in the final together with his teammate, Bou, and Jaime Busto. Marcelli finally rounded off the rostrum at the Poliesportiu D’Andorra.

Bou increases his advantage over his nearest rival in the championship, Jaime Busto, to 25 points. Marcelli consolidates his position in third place overall with 58 points. The next event will be on November 4th in Madrid, where Bou will have the first opportunity to clinch his seventeenth indoor title.

Toni Bou

Championship: 1º

“I am very happy with the victory, since the race in Andorra is always special for me. On the first lap I didn't have a very good feeling, so for the second I changed bikes and it was much better. Winning such a difficult race is incredible and this gives me extra motivation for the next one, which will be at the home of Repsol, where I will once again aim for victory and the title."

Gabriel Marcelli

Championship: 3º

“Today the feeling was very good. We took third place and we are happy with the result because the team worked very well. I came here third in the championship, but with Adam very close, and today I managed to consolidate the position so it has been a positive day in terms of the championship.”

Takahisa Fujinami

Team Manager

“It was an important victory for Toni because Andorra is always extra pressure for him. He had an incredible second lap and a final in which he made the difference compared to the rest of the riders. Gabri achieved a very good position from Lap 1 with great riding. It was a shame that in the last zone in the final he lost second position, but we are very happy. Toni is closer to becoming champion so in the next race at the home of Repsol we will give 100%."
