Jaime Busto

Jaime Busto (Gorliz, 4/12/1997) is one of the brightest lights in the Trial discipline. In 2014 he scored an impressive win in the FIM World Cup (former World Junior Championship), winning seven of the thirteen races disputed. In 2012 he had become Youth 125 category champion, a competition in which he had previously debuted in 2011 at thirteen years of age. 

At a Spanish national level, the Basque rider had achieved all the titles in the lower categories and in 2015 he signed for the Repsol Honda Team. He finished eighth overall despite suffering an injury in the las part of the season and that same year he made his debut as a wild card at the Barcelona Trial, an experience that he repeated in Oviedo. In his first complete outdoor World Championship, Busto achieved a well-deserved sixth place, a position he repeated in 2016, finishing just out of the podium more than once.

An achievement that finally arrived in 2017. After being confirmed as a permanent rider at the X-Trial World Championship –which he finished in seventh place–, at the start of the outdoor championship he achieved a second position and got on the podium in the last round of the year, that took place in Andorra. He repeated that position in five of the six rounds left and secured the third overall place of the Championship.
