In the Super Pole, Marcelli kept the same feeling on the bike and would face the decisive sections starting second to last.
Once in the final, the Montesa Cota 4RT rider made some mistakes, but still remained in contention for the Top 3 and managed to secure a podium finish in the French town. In total, he has five podiums this season and remains in third place in the overall standings.
