Repsol Honda HRC’s Gabriel Marcelli finished the 2026 FIM TrialGP Championship in Spain, September 19-20, with the overall victory and, with it, secured second in the overall standings.
Marcelli’s teammate Toni Bou, who clinched the 2026 title at the previous round, won the first of two days of competition, with Marcelli finishing second overall. It was an important result for Marcelli, who overtook rival Jaime Busto for second place in the championship. Going into Sunday’s final, Marcelli led Busto by just one point.
“That was the goal for today: to finish ahead of our direct rival, Jaime,” Marcelli said after Saturday’s competition. “There’s still work to be done tomorrow, so we can’t relax.”
Marcelli battled Bou all day for the day’s win. They fought it out through the last section, with Bou edging out his teammate to take Sunday’s win, but Marcelli was awarded the weekend’s overall victory and second place in the championship.
Meanwhile, Busto locked horns with his Beta teammate Harry Hemingway, who edged him for third place in the day’s results.
In the final championship standings, Bou finished well ahead of the pack with 514 points, while Marcelli edged out Busto for second in the series, 388-378.
Fourth in the championship went to Beta’s Matteo Grattarola with 326, while Honda/Montesa’s Miquel Gelabert rounded out the top five with 305 points. Hemingway ended up in sixth with 281 points.
“I arrived at Pobladura seven points behind Jaime and under a lot of pressure, because I wanted to reclaim that second spot and show the level we’re capable of,” Marcelli said. “We managed the weekend very well, and finishing the year with a win and the runner-up spot is the best possible way to end the season.” CN
