On February 2, the world’s best indoor trial will return to Barcelona in celebration of the 48th Barcelona Indoor Trial and the 5th Women’s Trophy. Both competitions are the oldest in the world (the first men’s indoor test took place in Barcelona in 1978 and the Palau Sant Jordi saw the first women’s competition in this specialty in 2021) and their tickets are now available here. Toni Bou, 36-time world champion, and Berta Abellán, current TrialGPWomen world runner-up, will defend their status as the latest winners of “The Cathedral of indoor trial”.
Barcelona marks the halfway point of the World Cup
The UNIVERSAE Indoor Trial in Barcelona will be the fourth trial out of eight that will make up the 2024/2025 FIM X-Trial World Championship calendar. The championship raised the curtain on December 21 in Madrid and, before arriving in Sant Jordi on February 2, it will visit the French towns of Chambéry and Clermont-Ferrand.
After Barcelona, the X-Trial World Championship will be decided with the events of Stavanger (Norway), Medellín (Colombia), Wiener Neustadt (Austria) and Tallinn (Estonia), the latter scheduled for April 26.
The world’s elite, in Palau
Since 1978, the Barcelona Indoor Trial has brought together the best drivers in the history of this sport, even though it is not a qualifying event for the World Championship of the specialty. Today’s Toni Bou, Jaime Busto, Gabriel Marcelli or Adam Raga are worthy successors during the legendary names of the 70s, 80s and 90s, such as Yrjo Vesterinen, Eddy Lejeune, Thierry Michaud or the legendary Jordi Tarrés , Doug Lampkin and Marc Colomer.
For its part, the Women’s Trophy features the top five finishers from the last TrialGPWomen World Championship in each edition. In fact, the Palau Sant Jordi competition ends up being an “additional GP” in “revenge mode”.
Barcelona, a pioneer again: the women’s competition is now an FIM Trophy
In the same way that the Barcelona Indoor Trial resulted in the FIM Indoor Trial World Cup, the Women’s Trophy spawned the new FIM Women’s X-Trial Trophy.
The world’s highest motorcycling body has opted for women’s indoor testing. The new FIM Trophy in its first edition will start at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on February 2nd.
Barcelona can boast of offering a double indoor trial show of the highest international level – which only reinforces its role as the historic cradle of this sport – and also of hosting and organizing an indoor trial event with the greatest tradition and prestige around the world. world.
