The Repsol Honda Team earned first and second place in the 2024 TrialGP World Championship, thanks to a third position on Sunday for Gabriel Marcelli in Ripoll on Sunday. Champion Toni Bou closed the year with his eleventh race victory.
Marcelli was fighting for second place with Jaime Busto, and the Repsol Honda rider arrived in Ripoll with a seven-point advantage. After two days of competition, he took the coveted position in the overall standings. He started the first lap well, and was third after the first time round the track, then on the second lap he held onto the place, earning his ninth podium of the year. Second place in the series is the best result for Marcelli in the TrialGP World Championship to date.
Bou closed the season on a high note, with victory. Already confirmed as champion, the Montesa Cota 4RT rider continued to push. On the first lap he strung together four 0s in a row to open the day. After making a mistake on Zone 9 and some small errors in the closing stages, he was second, just two points behind Busto. On Lap 2, the points situation remained very tight, but with 10 zeros, the Repsol Honda rider finally took the victory. He concludes the year with 11 wins and 12 podiums in 2024, as well as 18 titles in TrialGP.
On October 5, X-Trial returns with a round in Andorra, where Bou will have the first chance to clinch the title in that series.
The season has ended in the best possible way, with two wins at our home race. In addition, the team earned a 1-2 in the championship, so you can't ask for more. The assessment of the season is very good, I won all the races except for the second round in Italy, so I would like to thank the team for their great work. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate my teammate Gabri for his second position in the championship. It has been a great year for us.

I'm very happy to have achieved the runner-up position. It has been a very positive year for us, albeit with some mistakes, but in the end we have achieved the goal that we set for ourselves at the beginning of 2024. The team gave everything until the end, we have learned in each race and I am very grateful to everyone for their great work. We still have to finish the X-Trial World Championship, but we are already looking forward to next year where we will try to take another step forward.

It's an unbeatable result for the whole team. Achieving a 1-2, with Toni first and Gabri second, is very exciting. We have achieved the objective for the season and I want to thank the team for all the work they have done during the year. Gabri has taken the runner-up position after a tough fight with Jaime, and I want to congratulate him for this fantastic result. Finally, I don't want to forget Honda, HRC and all the sponsors who support us year after year, because without them this would not be possible, so thank you.
