A fan of Enduro, Trial and mountain biking, Alex Debon made his professional racing debut in 1994. He began with Spanish Grand Prix wildcard rides in 1998 and 1999, seasons which also saw him finish 6th and 7th respectively in the 250cc class of the European Championship. His highlight of 2001 undoubtedly came in qualifying second on the grid for the Valencian GP although the wet conditions ruined his aspirations of a first GP podium finish. Debon moved from the Valencia Circuit team after two seasons, to develop the new Honda NSR250 with Hardwick Racing, but sponsorship problems saw a last minute switch to Campetella and a privateer Aprilia. In 2004 he joined the Wurth Honda BQR team and took 12th overall. He continued with the Spanish team in 2005, aiming to shine amongst the privateers but could only manage 12th again.

In 2006 Debón became Aprilia’s test and reserve rider and only competed in five GP races, although four top-five finishes secured him 13th place in the classifications. In 2007 he managed to finish 18th overall after riding in only four races, with one 3rd place podium in Valencia.

It was enough to promote the Spaniard to a regular race ride for 2008 where he took his first his first win at Le Mans, which was followed by a further three podiums and 4th place overall. The following season would be an inconsistent one though, with nine top-10 finishes, including a solitary podium in Germany, and 4 DNFs resulting in a 10th place finish in the classifications.

This year Debón will step up to the new 600cc Moto2 class and ride on FTR machinery, under the banner of Team Aeroport de Castelló.
