Gelabert makes comeback on demanding day in Calvi

The Honda Montesa rider recovers with a near-perfect second race and closes Saturday with a third place combined finish.

Calvi in Corsica debuts as a venue for the Trial2 World Championship this weekend, hosting the fourth round of the 2025 season. Facing new, demanding terrain, Miquel Gelabert put in a solid performance on Saturday, improving over the course of the day and earning important points in his fight for the Trial2 World Championship top spot. The Honda Montesa rider closed the day with a hard-fought third place, getting back onto the podium.

From the opening stages of the day, the intermediate class competitors performed at a high level, with very close scores among the main contenders for victory. Gelabert started the first lap demonstrating his usual potential on the bike, racking up eight cleans. However, some mistakes in the early sections prevented the young RTL Electric rider from climbing further up the order, finishing in fifth place and earning 11 valuable championship points.

In the second race, the Honda Montesa rider shone, delivering a near-perfect performance with only three penalty points incurred. Gelabert made up for his morning result with another race win. His tally for the day gave him a third place finish, along with a total of 31 points.

Gelabert strengthened his third position in the overall standings with 193 points. The rider for Honda’s electric project will face another day of action on Sunday, with the goal of fighting for a possible double victory. The action will get underway at 10:00 a.m. (local time) with the start of the first competitor.
