Biography of Toni Bou

Born on October 17, 1986 and living in Piera (Barcelona), Toni Bou started as a Bike Trial rider when he was eight years old. After being proclaimed World Champion of the specialty in his category, in 1999 he made the leap to Trial on motorcycles.
Immersed in the motorcycling specialty, in 2001 he won the Spanish Junior Championship, a title that was followed by the 250cc European Cup. for promising youngsters in 2002, and the European Champion in 2003. In 2005 he was part of the winning team in the Trial of Nations, was runner-up in Spain in Indoor Trial and fifth in the Outdoor World Championship.
The following year, Bou achieved his first victories in the top category, both indoors (third in the World Championships) and outdoors, where he ended up occupying fifth place again in the final classification of the World Championship.
Joining the ranks of the Repsol Montesa Honda Team in the 2007 season, the rider from Piera won the World Indoor Championship that same year. On the Montesa Cota 4RT, Toni Bou won four of the eight races that made up the Indoor calendar. The high level exhibited placed him among the favorites for the Outdoor Trial World Championship, which he also won with great authority, after achieving nine victories out of a possible eleven. As a final touch, the Repsol rider won the Spanish Indoor Championship and his third victory, all consecutive, as a member of the Spanish team in the Trial of Nations.
The following year, the Repsol rider repeated his title in the Indoor World Championship, and after seven victories in the Outdoor World Championship and five second places, Bou was once again proclaimed absolute King of the discipline for the second consecutive year. At the end of the season, he revalidated the title in the Trial of Nations with Spain, and once again won the Spanish Indoor Trial Championship.
With an increasingly high level, Toni Bou defended both the Indoor and Outdoor Trial World Championships in 2009. He achieved four victories indoors, out of five events, and seven outdoors, out of the eleven that made up the calendar. He ended the season by also winning the national outdoor and indoor titles, as well as winning the Trial of Nations for the fifth time with the Spanish team, closing a historic season in which he won all five titles he competed in.
The Repsol rider faced the 2010 season without lowering his level one iota and has managed to achieve his two main objectives of the season: to repeat his victories in the World Championship, both indoor and outdoor, for the fourth consecutive year. Four wins and a second place in the five races that made up the 2010 World Indoor Championship calendar confirmed his overwhelming dominance of the specialty. With his seventh victory in ten races at the Outdoor World Championship, the rider from Piera won his fourth consecutive outdoor title.
In the current campaign, Bou has achieved a similar feat, scoring a crushing title in the intense Indoor championship and signing the year with a hotly contested outdoor title. With these two titles, Bou has a total of ten world titles and continues to write the history of the sport in golden letters. There are still the National Trial and the World Championship of Nations ahead of him, two highly sought-after titles that Bou already has in his palmares and will try to fight for them in the coming months.
