The trials icon and most statistically dominant competitive motorcyclist of all time will be celebrated and will also showcase his talents during exclusive exhibitions
MX Sports Pro Racing, Inc., in conjunction with RedBud event organizers, has announced that Spanish trials icon Toni Bou will serve as Grand Marshal of this Saturday’s Honda RedBud National Presented by Dixxon Flannel, the sixth race of the 2025 Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing. As Grand Marshal, the Repsol Honda HRC rider’s unprecedented racing career, which features an incredible 37 FIM World Championships across the TrialGP and X-Trial series, will be celebrated. Additionally, Bou will showcase his talents for those in attendance with a pair of exclusive exhibitions on a temporary trial course built for National weekend.
“With accolades that speak for themselves, there may not be a more decorated motorcycle racer, regardless of discipline, than Toni Bou. We are so incredibly honored that he accepted our invitation to serve as Grand Marshal for this year’s Honda RedBud National,” said Amy Ritchie, RedBud MX co-owner. “Toni isn’t just an icon. He epitomizes the highest level of talent and skill ever witnessed in the trial discipline. While we’re accustomed to big air and high speeds in motocross, trials is slow and steady, with a high degree of technical difficulty. It demands patience, discipline, and meticulous attention to detail and no one has ever done it better than Toni. His mastery of the skill is something to behold.”

Since 2007, Bou has won every single trial championship that’s been contested, doing so consecutively across two respective series to reach his historic mark of 37 titles. He has amassed 19 straight FIM X-Trial World Championships, wrapping up his most recent crown in the indoor discipline in March, and has complemented that with 18 straight FIM TrialGP World Championships, where he currently enjoys a commanding lead in the standings after five rounds of outdoor competition. During his near two-decade reign, Bou has captured an astounding 253 total victories (162 in TrialGP; 91 in X-Trial) to become the most statistically dominant competitive motorcyclist on the planet.
Bou’s appearance at the RedBud National will be a pit stop before continuing his pursuit of a 19th consecutive TrialGP title, as the U.S. round of the championship will take place July 11-13 in Exeter, Rhode Island. As a special treat for race attendees Bou and his Repsol Honda HRC teammate Gabriel Moncelli, a fellow Spaniard and former Trial2 World Champion, will keep their skills sharp in preparation of their next event with a pair of exhibitions that will take place on Saturday morning, from 9:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. local time and from 10:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. local time. The exhibitions will take place in the sponsor village at RedBud MX.
The Honda RedBud National will serve as Round 23 of the SMX World Championship this Saturday, July 5, from RedBud MX in Buchanan, Michigan.
