2026 X-Trial WM Ponte di Legno (Italien) - Palasport Anlage

A more hard-fought victory today for the World Champion, with Marcelli second and Grattarola returning to the podium at home

Toni Bou (Repsol Honda Trial Team) wrapped up the first half of the FIM X-Trial World Championship tonight with his second victory in 24 hours in Ponte di Legno. Today proved more challenging than yesterday, and he did not pull clear of his teammate Gabriel Marcelli until the final three sections of the Final, which they reached separated by just one point.

In the fourth section, Bou dropped only one point compared to Marcelli’s five, a moment that began to define the outcome of the event. The result was sealed in the final section with a clean ride from Bou and a five-point penalty for Marcelli. In the end, there was a nine-point gap between the winner—who had already dominated Q1 by clearing all sections—and the runner-up.

Meanwhile, Matteo Grattarola (Beta) completed the podium in front of a packed Italian crowd at the Palazetto dello Sport. He secured third place in the tiebreak section, beating Harry Hemingway (Beta), who had finished third in Q1. Grattarola returns to the podium for the first time since Barcelona 2022.
