Toby Martyn didn’t quite get the result he hoped for at the opening round of the 2024 X-Trial championship in Barcelona. “Ended up P6 on the night, unfortunately a little mechanical on the first lap cost me five points in the final section and dropped me two positons. It can’t always go your way on the night!”.

Martyn saved his night with sixth place, despite having sat eighth and last following his first run with a failure in section five. A much-improved display in round two moved the Brit past Benoit Bincaz (Sherco) and Aniol Gelabert.

The second X-Trial World Championship Round is X-Trial Chalon-Sur-Saône, France which takes place on March 15.
