Repsol Honda Team riders, Toni Bou and Gabriel Marcelli, visited Repsol's industrial facilities in Tarragona and offered an exhibition as preparation for the final round of the X-Trial World Championship, which will take place this Saturday at the Caixabank Tarraco Arena.

This visit marks the countdown to the last event of the world championship. Toni Bou arrives at the Tarragona event already mathematically crowned X-Trial world champion, adding his 39th title to his sporting career. Meanwhile, Gabriel Marcelli holds the provisional second position in the general classification and has strong chances of securing the runner-up title.
During their stay, the riders took the opportunity to perform a brief exhibition for the media. This activity also served as training at the Human Factors Academy, an installation adjacent to the industrial complex designed for practices and training in safety, decision-making, and teamwork in a controlled environment. This space replicates real industrial situations, reinforcing the culture of safety and continuous improvement.

"Behind excellence there is talent, effort, discipline, capacity for self-improvement, and teamwork. Success, both in sports and industry, is the result of rigor, perseverance, and the will to improve every day."
