As the weekend came to
a close, it was Bou who was
awarded the prestigious Wagner
Cup, presented by Wiltz Wag-
ner himself, in recognition of
the rider with the fewest points
across the two days of competi-
tion. This trophy, named in honor
of Wiltz Wagner, marks a key
moment in the history of this
competition and further solidi-
fies Bou's legendary status in the
sport.
"The weekend was very posi-
tive," Bou said. "I hadn't been in
the best shape physically since
Friday, but we were able to score
some good points for the overall
standings. It was a very tough
day in which we struggled, espe
-
cially in the second race.
Bou added, "I also want to
congratulate my teammate
'Gabri,' because he's been riding
very well in the races and he re-
ally deserved this victory."
"Toni is a very good team-
mate," Marcelli said. "He's al-
ways helped me a lot, and while
I spoiled his World Champion-
ship celebrations a bit, he was
still very happy that I was able to
finally win my first race. We have
a very good relationship, and we
both respect each other a lot."
Perhaps most significant of
all, this event symbolized the
historic reuniting of the AMA
and FIM, with the United States
now set to remain a fixture on
the World Championship cal
-
endar for years to come. This
collaboration promises to bring
the excitement of international
trials racing to American fans for
the foreseeable future.
The 2025 Hertz FIM Trial
World Championship will host its
final round on September 5-7 in
the United Kingdom.
