Bou, who is also the current World Motorcycle Trials Champion, took victory in each of his four heats on the course which stretched 250 metres up Deansgate; Manchester's most celebrated shopping street.
Furthermore, the head-to-head course was designed to reflect Manchester's surroundings, and featured a pair of Manchester M's, a section of canal complete with lock gates, a bridge of the region, two huge footballs, a couple of oversized seesaws plus a huge final jump constructed from a tower of local shipping containers
The Spaniard also added to his victory tally in Manchester, by securing a clean sweep of wins in the final of all four rounds.
