"After the Andorra trial, getting the good sensations back was very important for me and I struggled to be comfortable in this trial," Bou said.
"Yesterday I got the pole and today I was able to ride well on the bike and managed a zero on lap two. Everything has gone very well and this victory is very important for the championship. I also want to congratulate Jaime for joining me on the podium. He has an incredible level and I knew that these good results would come. It has been a very good weekend and I am very happy about how everything went."
Sections one and fifteen were man-made in the town centre and took few marks, but the remainder - comprising rocky outcrops on a wooded hillside - proved costly in the wet conditions of the opening lap.
Never in contention for the win after an expensive opening lap that saw him part with thirty-six on observation and five on time, Spain's Jaime Busto - Repsol Honda backed up his debut podium at TrialGP Andorra with a fighting third place, his solid second lap of just seven placing him four marks ahead of Japanese team-mate Takahisa Fujinami.
"I am very happy because it has been a difficult trial for me," Busto said. "I had damaged ribs from the Andorra trial, and they caused me a lot of pain, even so, once in the competition I was able to handle the whole event quite well. The sections, on the first lap were fine, and after drying out it got a bit easier."
Jeroni Fajardo - Vertigo was a further three marks adrift in fifth before a big gap to his fellow Spaniard Albert Cabestany - Sherco who, starting first following his qualification nightmare yesterday, showed great form to end the day with sixty-seven marks lost.
Spain's Miquel Gelabert - Sherco parted with seventy-four marks for a career best equalling seventh ahead of Franz Kadlec - Gas Gas from Germany on eighty-one, Italy's Matteo Grattarola - Gas Gas on eighty-four and a disappointed James Dabill - Gas Gas from Britain who, after finishing third in qualification, rounded out the top ten on eighty-five marks.
Spain's Gabriel Marcelli - Montesa parted with twenty-nine marks to hand him a four-mark victory in Trial2 ahead of Iwan Roberts - Beta from Britain who extended his series lead. Italy's Luca Petrella - TRRS was third on forty-two.
In Trial125 Fabien Poirot - Gas Gas dropped twenty-six marks to take a popular home win with a narrow one-mark victory from Italian Lorenzo Gandola - Scorpa who overcame a disaster in qualification to retain his series lead over Britain's Billy Green - Beta who finished third on thirty-two.
In the inaugural FIM TrialE Cup for electric motorcycles, riding the same course as Trial125, 1996 FIM Trial World Champion Marc Colomer - Gas Gas destroyed the opposition.
Dropping just nineteen marks, the Spanish legend - who retired from the top-flight fourteen years ago - finished forty-eight marks ahead of compatriot Cesar Panicot - Mecatecno who finished one mark clear of France's Bastien Hieyte - Electric Motion.
The 2017 TrialGP series will now pause briefly before heading to Great Britain for round five in two weeks time.
