The Spaniard will continue with the team for a further three seasons.
Gabriel Marcelli and Repsol Honda have extended their collaboration through to 2027, with a contract extension for the Spanish rider. The two parties began working together in 2022, although since 2016 Marcelli has been linked to Honda as part of the Montesa Talent Team. In 2020 he joined the top class of the World Championship in both indoor and outdoor disciplines, and since then he has increased his list of achievements each season.
In 2019, Marcelli became Trial2 World Champion and won the European Title, leading to the move up to the TR1 class. In 2022, he joined Repsol Honda to partner Toni Bou, after the retirement of Takahisa Fujinami. In 2023 he finished the season in third position in both disciplines, and this past season he was runner-up in the TrialGP World Championship, as well as third in the X-Trial campaign.

“I am very grateful to the team and to HRC for trusting me to represent them for three more years. It shows the good work we are doing and that we are on the right track. Since I was little I have always dreamed of being part of this team, and to be supported in this way is incredible for me. This past season has been positive, and I can see that year after year I am evolving. I really want to continue growing alongside this great team.”

"I am very pleased to have Gabriel Marcelli with the Repsol Honda Team until 2027. In these three years we have seen great progress in the team and this season he has achieved great results with a runner-up finish in TrialGP and third place in X-Trial. HRC will continue to support Gabriel in all aspects, including bike development and team management, so that he can continue to grow as a rider.”
