World Championship win no. 200 for Toni Bou
Repsol Honda Trial Team rider, Toni Bou, seals a 200th Trial World Championship win (indoor and outdoor) in the Andorra TrialGP.
Toni Bou’s track record continues to go from strength to strength, while the desire to keep adding further honours remains as intact as ever. With today’s triumph, the Repsol Honda Trial Team rider becomes the first and only rider to ever reach 200 Trial World Championship victories, accumulating a tally of 127 TrialGP wins and 73 X-Trial wins since debuting in 2003. On day two of the Andorra TrialGP, an improved Bou came out guns blazing, rectifying the errors that had let yesterday’s win slip away, to finish top on both laps one and two. In the general standings, Repsol Honda Trial Team’s Catalan rider now holds the TrialGP World Championship lead, 11 points clear of the nearest second-placed rider.
The second day of the TrialGP World Championship proved a less positive one for Gabriel Marcelli, at least in terms of the final result. Due to the very evenly-matched participants this season, the Galician rider of the Repsol Honda Trial Team finished the day in seventh position, although committing fewer errors than yesterday and displaying better riding prowess. Today’s fine result sees Marcelli in seventh place in the overall world championship rankings.
The TrialGP World Championship takes two weeks off before returning on the weekend of 8-10 July for a new double-header in Neunkirchen (Germany).
