Bou closes 2025 X-Trial World Championship season with victory

The Repsol Honda HRC riders ended the 2025 X-Trial World Championship season with a great result in Tallinn. Toni Bou, the champion, arrived looking to return to winning ways in Estonia after finishing fourth there last year, and he achieved another victory. Gabriel Marcelli targeted his first victory, and although he was in contention, he ultimately took third place.

In the first round, Bou showed that, despite having already secured the title, he wanted to close the 2025 season on a high note. With a near-perfect lap, accruing only four penalty points, he went directly into the final alongside Jaime Busto and Marcelli. For the Super Pole that would decide the starting order of the final round, the rider from Piera set an unbeatable time, completing the three laps in 38 seconds and ensuring he would take on the sections last.

In the final round, the Montesa Cota 4RT rider claimed another victory with a determined showing. He thus ended the campaign with a total of six wins indoors in 2025.

Marcelli’s first lap saw him get off to a strong start, stringing together two consecutive zeros. Although some errors gave him 15 penalty points, he qualified directly for the final, closing out the Top 3. In the Super Pole, he made two errors that added an extra 10 seconds to his tally, meaning he would start second for the final zones.

On the final lap, the Repsol Honda HRC rider once again demonstrated his outstanding talent and, after a fierce battle with Jack Peace, Busto and Bou, he secured third place. With this result, Marcelli completes the Top 3 in the X-Trial World Championship standings, repeating his result from last season.

After the conclusion of the X-Trial World Championship, both riders are now focused on their next challenge: The Japanese Trial GP, which will be held from May 16-18th.

I'm very happy to get a win in Estonia. Last year I couldn't qualify for the final, so I was really eager to get this great result. We had a very solid race, and now we have to enjoy it. Overall, this season was really positive. We've achieved six wins, and our worst finish was second, in addition to taking the title, so we can't ask for more. The team have done an incredible job, as always, and I want to thank them for that.

I'm not happy today, because I didn't ride very well in the first round. It's true that I improved in the final, and I'll take that away from the weekend. The most positive thing is that we repeated the result in the final. That wasn't the goal, because we were looking for a better result, so we'll correct the mistakes to do our best next season. I want to thank the entire team for their great work this year.

I'm very proud of the entire team for their work this season. Closing the X-Trial World Championship with a win for Toni demonstrates, once again, his high level. Overall, it's been been a great year for him, and I'm satisfied with the work we've done. Gabri took a hard-fought podium today, and I'm happy with how that went. He's finally placed third overall. We were hoping for a little more, but we're taking the positives and will be looking to improve on those results next year. It's been a very good 2025 in X-Trial, and now it's time to focus on the TrialGP World Championship, which is the next challenge.
