Diego Bosis was born on 19th October 1967 in Bergamo Italy

In 1979 when he was 12 years of age he started to compete in local trial competitions.

 

This was down to his father Giacomo's passion for trials and his uncle Ezio who was one of the Italian trials pioneers.

 

What a great start Diego had with his family so into trials, it does make a difference if you are brought up with trials bikes.

 

 

Also in 1984 he rode the FIM World Championship season and finished a very respectable 14th , it was very obvious at this early stage in his career he was going to be a special rider.

 

In his first year with Montesa Diego came 3rd in the Italian National Championship, taking his first Senior championship win in 1986, then 1987, 1989, 1990, and 1992

 

In the FIM World Championship he won 9 events the first on June 26th 1987 and his final win in 1994 at his home event in Italy becoming the firt Italian to win on his home ground.

 

He came second in the Fim World Championship twice 1987 and 1990 both times behind the Spaniard Jordi Tarres

In 1987 he rode to a fantastic Trials Des Nations win for Italy with his team mates Donato Miglio, Renato Chiaberto and Carlo Franco, in total he rode 22 times for Italy in this event.

 

At 41 years of age Diago took 4th In the Italian National Championship, 27 concecuative years averaging 2nd place , what an incredible acheivement !

 

In 2010,2011 Diego worked with the FIM trials commision designing sections for World Championship events.

Towards the end of his career he opened a trials school in Castellinaldo in the province of Cuneo

 

At the age of 44 he died on 14 February 2012 from cardiac arrest.

 

A true loss to our wonderfull sport of trials

 

Ciao Diego........
