Gelabert takes further podium finish with the RTL Electric

The Honda Montesa rider closes the TrialGP in Portugal on the rostrum, earning third place overall with 102 points.

Miquel Gelabert concluded the second round of outdoor competition in Portugal with the same positive feeling he had from Saturday. The RTL Electric rider fought until the end to close out the weekend in Viana do Castelo in the best possible way, claiming a win in the first race and a second place finish in Race 2. Sunday’s result in Portugal secured him third place overall in the series, with 102 points.

The Honda Montesa rider had earned the first victory for the Honda electric machine in the Trial2 Outdoor World Championship on Saturday. On Sunday, in the first race, the Spaniard was consistent throughout the course and managed to enter the fight for the top positions from the very first section. Gelabert finished with just six penalty points, having racked up six zeros in the final sections, and repeated his win. He earned 20 points for the overall standings.

In the second race of the day, the Honda Montesa rider once again dazzled, despite the high level set by his rivals throughout the race. Gelabert was amongst the frontrunners, but although he would claim eight zeros, it wasn’t enough to seal his second victory of the day. With three penalty points and just one difference between the first and second place finishers, he finished the race in third place. The RTL Electric rider finished the day on the second step of the podium, earning another 15 points in Portugal.

Gelabert is third in the overall standings with 102 points. The next event for the World Championship will take place on May 16-18th: Honda’s home race in Japan.
