Repsol Honda HRC had a night to remember in Chalon-Sur-Saône this Friday, winning their latest indoor trial title thanks to Toni Bou. The Spaniard claimed his 20th X-Trial honour with a race victory, whilst teammate Gabriel Marcelli earned second place on the night.

Bou took his 39th world title overall, with another solid display. From the first lap, the Repsol Honda rider showed he was determined to secure the title at the first time of asking. After the opening lap, he had a total of five penalty points from the five sections, placing him at the top of the standings and sending him directly into the final to meet Marcelli and Jaime Busto. He also secured the Super Pole, with a time of 0:54.3.

In the final, the Montesa Cota 4RT rider was part of a close lap, in which Zone 4 was cancelled due to safety concerns. The two Repsol Honda riders battled for the victory, with Bou prevailing for the win. He clinched the title with two rounds remaining in the 2026 season. He now boasts a total of 20 World Championships in the X-Trial category and 39 titles across his career. The win was his 98^th in the indoor series, part of 116 podium finishes in 128 starts.

Marcelli rediscovered the form he had shown in the early rounds of the season. In the first lap, the Galician rider kept a steady pace and finished second, securing his place in the final. In the Super Pole, he was the second fastest with a time of 1:01.6, which placed him second to last in the starting order.

Marcelli maintained his pace throughout the final, battling with Bou for the win, and the Montesa Cota 4RT rider secured second place. With this result, the Repsol Honda rider consolidates his second place with 108 points and increases his lead over third-placed Busto.

The next event for the Repsol Honda riders will be the Trial des Nations next weekend, where both will represent Spain. The next X-Trial World Championship event is on April 12th in Lisbon, Portugal.
