The 2025 TrialGP World Championship returns to action this weekend with Round 3 at the iconic Mobility Resort Motegi in Japan. For Repsol Honda HRC, this is more than just another round—it’s a homecoming and one of the most meaningful events on the calendar. From May 16 to 18, the Japanese fans will have the rare chance to cheer on their factory team on home soil as Toni Bou and Gabriel Marcelli gear up for another intense weekend of world-class trials action.

Bou Eyes Another Win to Extend Dominance

Toni Bou enters the Japanese round in unbeatable form. Sitting atop the standings with 160 points, Bou has been flawless so far this season. He’s coming off back-to-back wins in Portugal and is still riding high from recently clinching the 2025 X-Trial World Championship with a final round victory in Tallinn. The 34-time World Champion has shown no signs of slowing down, and Motegi offers another opportunity to cement his lead—and thrill Honda fans in the process.

Marcelli Hunts First Career Victory

Gabriel Marcelli, currently third in the standings, is equally motivated as he heads into the team’s most symbolic round. Riding the Montesa Cota 4RT, the young Spaniard is determined to turn potential into victory. While Portugal didn’t yield the results he hoped for, his double podium performance in Málaga proves he has what it takes to challenge at the front. With the energy of the Japanese crowd behind him, Marcelli aims to break through and claim his first TrialGP win.

Motegi: A Circuit Steeped in Honda Spirit

Located northeast of Tokyo, Mobility Resort Motegi serves as Honda’s spiritual home and one of the most unique venues in motorsport. The layout and natural terrain offer a challenging and visually spectacular setting for trial competition. For the riders, racing here carries added emotional weight—and for the Japanese fans, it’s a rare opportunity to witness elite trials competition firsthand.

The weekend begins on Friday with scrutineering, zone visits, and official practice. Competitive action kicks off on Saturday and continues through Sunday morning, with both riders hoping to put on a masterclass performance for Honda’s home crowd.

With Bou seeking to widen his title lead and Marcelli aiming to make history, all eyes will be on Repsol Honda HRC as TrialGP Japan gets underway.
