The Repsol Honda rider seals his eighteenth outdoor title. Gabriel Marcelli takes third place in the French town.

The Repsol Honda Team had a winning conclusion to the penultimate round of the season, as Toni Bou was crowned TrialGP champion once again. He earned his ninth victory of the season to confirm the title. Teammate Gabriel Marcelli earned third position in the race, his seventh podium of the season.

Bou took the lead on the first lap after collecting 7 penalty points, one of them for time, on Zones 1 and 10. For the second run, the Repsol Honda Team rider was able to improve in places where he had made mistakes and finally, with an advantage of 8 points, took his ninth triumph of the season.

With this victory, the Montesa Cota 4RT rider won the TrialGP World Championship for the eighteenth time. In total, Bou has a total of 35 titles, including 17 in X-Trial and 18 in the outdoor discipline. He has 152 race victories and 208 podiums in TrialGP.

Marcelli also had a good performance in Cahors. On the first lap, the Repsol Honda Team rider was fighting for the podium positions, placing inside the Top 3 with 18 points. On the second lap he competed for second place alongside Jaime Busto and Adam Raga, finally claiming third for his first rostrum at the French town.

Thanks to this result, Marcelli retains second place in the overall standings, 7 points clear of Jaime Busto. The runner-up position will be decided on the last weekend of the season.

The final round of the TrialGP World Championship season will be held from September 13-15th, with a double header in Ripoll.

 

Toni Bou

Championship: 1st

“First of all, I would like to thank the team for the incredible work they have done this season. When there is a chance to win the title, there is always more pressure and the possibility of making a mistake, as was the case on the first section, but after that I was able to ride at my best and we got a great victory. If we can win the title by winning the race, then it's even better. It has been a very good season in which we have worked very well. It is one of the best seasons of my professional career and I am very happy.”

Gabriel Marcelli

Championship: 2nd

“This weekend it was important to stay on the podium to maintain second place in the standings, and I am happy with how I felt. We have had a good return to action and things have gone well, despite the fact that we made some small mistakes. We maintain a 7-point lead over Jaime in the fight for the runner-up position and we are in a good position. In Ripoll we will have to go all out. In addition, I would like to congratulate my teammate, Toni, for his eighteenth TrialGP title. He had a great race and, overall, an incredible season.”

Takahisa Fujinami

Team Manager

“It was an incredible day and I want to congratulate Toni for the victory and the title. He has once again shown how great his talent is and the effort he puts in race after race to achieve the best results. I am also happy with Gabri’s race. Despite some mistakes, he is still second in the standings and had a good ride. It will be important to continue at this level in Ripoll to achieve the runner-up position. I want to thank HRC, all the sponsors and the team for supporting us on the way to the title and making it possible once again.”
