The Repsol Honda rider ends the season on a high note. Gabriel Marcelli takes third place in the final standings.
This weekend, the 2024 X-Trial World Championship concluded at the Navarra Arena in Pamplona. Toni Bou was the winner, with his 100th podium in the indoor discipline. Meanwhile, teammate Gabriel Marcelli finished sixth in the seventh round of the year.
There was a perfect end to the season for Toni Bou in Pamplona. The 36-time World Champion achieved victory on Saturday, his sixth of the year. In the first round, the Montesa Cota 4RT rider dominated and led the way. In round two, he qualified for the final as the pacesetter and, on the last round, with 5 points to his name, he took the win -his sixth of the year.
Marcelli has started the event with some difficulties and, on the first round, with 15 penalty points, placing sixth. In the second round, the Repsol Honda rider did a perfect job but, despite him cleaning the lap, it was not enough to qualify for the final. With this result, Marcelli finishes in third place in the overall standings, repeating the result of last season and closing the year with 6 podiums.
The X-Trial World Championship’s 2024 season comes to an end, but on December 21st the riders will return for a new challenge in Madrid with the start of the 2025 campaign.
Toni Bou
“I'm very happy with the end of the season. I felt very comfortable on the bike. After the result in Estonia the goal was to get back to the top, and we achieved it. It's been an almost perfect year, we finished it in the best way, and I want to thank the team for their great work. In December the 2025 season starts and we're already focused on that. As always, the goal will be to fight for the title, so we're ready to give it our all.”
Gabriel Marcelli
“Today was a difficult day, I made two mistakes on round one that I carried over into the second round and I couldn't recover from. We finished third overall and although it's positive, the goal was the runner-up spot, so we're left with a bittersweet taste in our mouths. Overall it's been a great season and I want to thank the team for the work they've done. On December 21st we start the 2025 X-Trial season again, so we'll look to be at our best."
Takahisa Fujinami
“We close the season with Toni as champion and Gabri in third place overall. These are good results and I'm very happy with the work by the whole team this year. Today in Pamplona Toni achieved another victory and his 100th podium, which is incredible. Gabri has not had the best end to the season, but the overall assessment is very positive. I think that, little by little, he is going up a level, which is very important. On December 21st we have the start of the 2025 campaign, so the objective will be the same again: To fight for the title.”
