TrialGP France 2026 Results Toni Bou Completes Perfect Weekend

Toni Bou has completed a dominant weekend at TrialGP France, taking victory on the second day to secure another maximum haul of championship points in the premier class.

The Repsol Honda HRC rider once again showed why he remains the benchmark in the FIM TrialGP World Championship, finishing Day 2 with just six marks lost across the 12 sections. Bou also collected a single time penalty, but it did nothing to prevent him from taking his second victory of the weekend.

Behind Bou, Gabriel Marcelli produced another strong performance for Honda Montesa to finish second, while Britain's Harry Hemingway secured an important podium result for Beta Factory Trial Team.

The French round also produced a significant result in Trial2, where Arnau Farré bounced back from a difficult opening day to dominate the second day's competition with an exceptionally low score of just two marks.

Toni Bou Controls TrialGP France

Bou entered the second day looking to complete a perfect weekend, and the reigning champion delivered exactly that.

The Spaniard was remarkably consistent throughout the opening lap, dropping marks only in Sections 1 and 12. His total of just three marks after the first lap gave him the foundation for another victory.

His second lap was even better.

Bou cleaned every section apart from Section 7, where he dropped a single mark. He then completed his final lap with another single mark lost in Section 10.

That meant Bou finished the main trial on just five observed marks, before his one time penalty took his official race total to six.

It was another demonstration of the importance of Bou's ability to minimise mistakes. While several of his rivals accumulated large scores in individual sections, Bou rarely allowed one difficult obstacle to turn into a disastrous result.

Marcelli Keeps the Pressure On

Gabriel Marcelli finished second with a total of 15 marks, giving the Repsol Honda HRC/Montesa rider another strong result at a round where the sections clearly punished mistakes.

Marcelli's opening lap contained 12 marks, including two fives, but he improved during the second lap with a score of 15 and avoided a major collapse.

The Spaniard ultimately finished nine marks behind Bou, but his consistency was enough to keep him comfortably ahead of the rest of the field.

For Honda, the result was another important reminder of the depth within its TrialGP operation. Bou continues to set the standard at the front, while Marcelli is increasingly establishing himself as one of the riders capable of challenging for the podium on a regular basis.

Harry Hemingway Delivers Another British Podium

Britain's Harry Hemingway claimed third position with a combined score of 21 marks.

The Beta Factory Trial Team rider was unable to match the pace of Bou and Marcelli, but his performance was significant in the context of the championship.

Hemingway lost 15 marks during the opening lap before improving to 21 on the second. More importantly, he avoided the kind of huge score that affected several of the riders behind him.

The British rider's result also underlined how competitive the fight behind Bou has become. While the championship leader continues to create separation at the front, positions from third place backwards remain much more vulnerable to a single difficult section.

Busto's Second Day Comes at a Cost

Jaime Busto finished fourth after a frustrating second day.

The Beta rider initially looked capable of challenging for another podium, dropping just 14 marks during his opening lap. However, his second lap proved considerably more difficult.

Busto recorded a 25-mark section score and also picked up six time penalties, taking his official second-lap total to 31.

That effectively ended his hopes of challenging for the podium.

It is a useful example of just how quickly the complexion of a TrialGP can change. Busto's first lap was competitive, but one difficult section combined with time pressure completely altered his final result.

Gelabert Wins the Battle for Fifth

Miquel Gelabert finished fifth with a combined score of 45 marks across the two laps.

The Honda Montesa rider actually improved significantly during his second lap, reducing his section score from 26 to 19.

Matteo Grattarola finished sixth, with the Beta rider recording scores of 22 and 28.

French rider Hugo Dufrese endured another difficult day in seventh, while Luca Petrella and Britain's Jack Peace completed the top ten.

Peace's 48-mark opening lap put him on the back foot, although he recovered slightly with a 38 on the second lap.

TrialGP France Results – Day 2

Arnau Farré Produces Trial2 Masterclass

While Bou controlled the premier class, Arnau Farré produced one of the performances of the entire weekend in Trial2.

The Sherco rider bounced back from his opening-day result in emphatic fashion, finishing the second day with an astonishing two marks lost.

Farré's first lap contained 17 marks, but the Spaniard was almost flawless during the second lap.

He cleaned 11 of the 12 sections and dropped just a single mark in Section 5.

That gave Farré a second-lap score of just two marks and secured the Trial2 victory.

It was precisely the kind of response a championship contender wants after a difficult day. Rather than allowing a disappointing result to affect him, Farré responded with one of the strongest rides of the weekend.

Bincaz Takes Second on Home Ground

France's Benoit Bincaz finished second for Electric Motion.

Bincaz recorded 18 marks on the opening lap before matching Farré's incredible second-lap score of two.

Although he could not overcome Farré's overall advantage, the result represents an important performance for Electric Motion.

Alex Canales Martos completed the Trial2 podium with 33 marks.

Francesco Titli and George Hemingway Complete the Top Five

Francesco Titli finished fourth with 34 marks, while Britain's George Hemingway completed the top five on his Beta.

Hemingway was particularly consistent across the two laps, recording 25 marks on the first and 12 on the second.

That second-lap improvement helped him secure a strong result and demonstrates the importance of adapting to the sections as the day progresses.

Trial2 Results – Day 2

Andrea Rabino Dominates TrialGP Women

Andrea Sofia Rabino produced the most emphatic result of the women's competition.

The Beta Factory rider completed the second day without dropping a single mark, finishing with a perfect 0-mark score.

Rabino had already been impressive on the opening day with just two marks lost. On Day 2 she went one better, cleaning every section to secure maximum championship points.

Berta Abellan finished second for Scorpa after recording seven marks, while Alessia Bacchetta completed the podium with another seven-mark score.

For British fans, Kaytlyn Adshead finished fourth, while Alice Minta took fifth.

TrialGP Women – Day 2 Results

What We Learned From TrialGP France

Bou remains incredibly difficult to beat. Another victory and another maximum points haul underline just how difficult it is for the rest of the TrialGP field to consistently challenge the 12-time world champion.

Farré's Trial2 response could be just as important as his victory. Producing a two-mark second lap after a much tougher opening lap shows that the Sherco rider has the ability to reset and respond when a weekend does not initially go to plan.

Hemingway continues to strengthen his position among the leading British riders. Another TrialGP podium gives the Beta rider valuable championship points and further evidence that he can compete with the established factory stars.

Rabino's women's performance was exceptional. A zero-mark second day is difficult enough to achieve in any international trial, but doing it at World Championship level makes the result particularly impressive.

Why the French Round Matters for the Championship

The results from France once again demonstrate that TrialGP championships are often decided by small margins.

A single five-mark penalty can completely alter the order, while time penalties can turn a podium challenge into a midfield result. That was particularly evident with Busto, whose second-lap difficulties transformed what initially looked like a strong ride.

For Bou, however, the story was very different.

The Montesa rider once again found a way to keep the score incredibly low while his rivals battled with the most difficult sections. That ability to eliminate mistakes is perhaps the clearest explanation for his continued dominance.

As the championship moves into its next phase, the pressure on the riders behind him will only increase. Bou's consistency means his rivals cannot afford many weekends where they leave points on the table.

TrialGP France ultimately belonged to Toni Bou, but the performances of Farré, Hemingway and Rabino provided plenty of evidence that the battles behind the reigning champions remain fiercely competitive.
