Bou Wins TrialGP Opener T he 2025 FIM TrialGP Cham- pionship kicked off in the Spanish town of Benahavis in the province of Malaga April 5-6, and Toni Bou, of the Repsol Honda Team, came away at the top of the championship leader - board. Each day is now made up of two "races," and Bou won them both. In race one, Bou dropped eight points to Gabriel Marcelli's 18, making it a Repsol Honda Team 1-2. Jaime Busto, of the Factory GasGas Team, took third with 22 points. Beta's Matteo Grattarola also dropped 22 points but was awarded fourth place ahead of TRRS's Aniol Gelabert of Spain. Race two was much closer, with Bou edging out his team - mate, Marcelli, by just two points, 10-12. Busto was again third, just one point back. Grat- tarola and Gelabert went 4-5. "I'm very happy with how this first day in Malaga went," Bou said. "Two wins in two laps isn't easy due to the new regulations, which put a lot of pressure on you to avoid mistakes. Every - thing happens very quickly, so tomorrow will also require close attention. I expect changes to the sections on Sunday. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, the sec- tions will be even easier for ev- eryone. I'm happy with the start, but we remain fully focused to be able to repeat the results on the second day." Bou picked up where he left off Sunday morning, winning race one well ahead of Busto, with Gelabert, Marcelli and Grat - tarola finishing 3-4-5. However, Bou's bid for a sweep fell by the wayside in race two, with Busto taking the win by three points over the defending champ, Bou. Marcelli edged out Grattarola by a point for third, while Great Britain's Jack Peace WIND IN THE P50 The 2025 FIM TrialGP Championship got underway in Spain, where Toni Bou came away with the championship lead.
