The third #event of the FIM #xtrialworldchampionship is set to take place in #madrid this coming Saturday, 2 April. The Spanish capital will once again host a world championship #trial after a ten-year absence and will feature the presence of both Repsol Honda #trial Team riders, #tonibou and #gabrielmarcelli.
After a ten-year hiatus the FIM #xtrialworldchampionship makes its return to #madrid with an unbeaten #tonibou having clinched the top honours at the two opening trials in Nice and Chalon-sur-Saône. Bou currently sits at the head of the world championship table with a 13-point advantage over the nearest second-placed rider.
Repsol Honda team will once again be represented in full, with #gabrielmarcelli lining up alongside the incumbent champion for the #madrid Arena #event, as he aims to find the right feelings after his nervy world championship debut last weekend.
Since 2008, #tonibou has claimed consecutive wins at the last five editions of X-Trial #madrid. #gabrielmarcelli, meanwhile, will be debuting in front of the fans in the Spanish capital after having competed earlier in Bilbao, Granada and Barcelona in 2019 and 2020.
The #madrid Arena will also make its debut as a host venue for an X-Trial #event with previous events having been held at the Palacio de Deportes. The competition gets underway at 20:00.
Toni Bou
We are arriving in #madrid this weekend after a great win in France where we saw that it’s important to always be alert as the slightest mistake can make the difference as there is so little dividing the competitors and anyone can pull a surprise. I am sure that the crowd in #madrid will be behind us as they have always done, and even more so after such a long time without hosting an X-Trial #event. We hope to put on a great show for them.
Gabriel Marcelli
In my debut in France last weekend I think I made some mistakes that, obviously, I can't repeat in the #trial in #madrid. I am very happy to be able to compete in Spain once again, and for the first time in #madrid, and I am confident that I can do well in spite of my lack of experience in this type of competition. We are going to give it everything we've got and we hope that it will be a great #trial and hope that the spectators enjoy it.
