After a six-year absence, the X-Trial of Nations returned in Nice, France for the 2025 edition. Toni Bou and Jaime Busto, who arrived ready to defend the title they won in 2019, represented the RFME. The Spanish riders secured another title for their country, adding another honour to the list of achievements of the 37-time champion.
The Palais Nikaïa hosted the event, which started at 8:00 p.m. local time. The Spain team led the standings from the first two rounds, securing their place in the decisive final. In it, Bou and Busto faced the French duo of Benoit Bincaz and Hugo Dufrese, and the Italian pair of Matteo Grattarola and Francesco Tilti, besting them in the international competition.
The win was Toni Bou’s ninth X-Trial Nations title of his career, adding to the 19 titles he has won with the national team in the outdoor event.
I'm very happy to win this title again, especially after so many years without this event being held. Jaime and I worked hard as a team from the start, and we managed to stay calm in the decisive moments. It was a special night in an incredible venue, with a spectacular crowd. This victory is very special, and we are very proud of the work we have done.
