Just one day after the announcement of Miquel Cirera’s departure as Team Manager of the Repsol Honda Team, the team’s new structure for the 2022 season has been announced, with the addition of Gabriel Marcelli as Toni Bou’s teammate and Takahisa Fujinami as Team Manager.
GABRIEL MARCELLI OFFICIAL MONTESA RIDER
Toni Bou and Gabriel Marcelli will be the Repsol Honda Team duo that will fight for the TrialGP and X-Trial World Championship in 2022.
Little to say about the number one for the last 15 years: Toni Bou. The athlete with the most successes, the legend of Trial, the reference of all will go out to defend his bib that has remained intact for three decades; Bou (17/10/1986) will start as favourite and man to beat in his sixteenth season with the Repsol Honda Team.
And together with Toni Bou, the young Galician rider Gabriel Marcelli (04/02/2000) will make his debut in the team this year, joining after a successful career in Trial2, where he became World Champion in 2019, and two solid seasons in TrialGP.
TAKAHISA FUJINAMI NEW REPSOL HONDA TEAM MANAGER
The Repsol Honda Team is also renewing part of its staff with the addition of former rider Takahisa Fujinami as the new team principal.
After 26 seasons active in the Trial World Championship, Fujigas will move on to develop a new role within a structure he knows well. His experience in competition will be an important factor for the new challenge of the 2004 Trial World Champion.
