Montesa Honda and Toni Bou have agreed to extend the contract that has kept them together since 2007, until the end of the 2012 season. During this time, Toni Bou has increased his track record with eight Trial World Championship titles (four outdoor and the other four indoor) and five Spanish Championship titles (four of which were in the indoor category), as well as becoming a member of the team that has won the last four editions of the Trial des Nations.
With Toni Bou's help, Montesa has enlarged its record of victories in World Championship events to 143 and has won the last four editions of the world championship as manufacturer.
Montesa is highly satisfied to continue its relationship with Toni Bou, born on October 17th, 1986 in Piera (Barcelona), a sportsman who is able and willing to continue offering new victories for this company.
Koji Maehara, President of Montesa Honda S.A: "Toni is the best trial rider in the world and we knew that the year his contract was to finish, he would be tempted by most of the other manufacturers competing in the Trial World Championship. Therefore, I'm proud that Toni has again trusted in Montesa and our commitment to continue developing the 4-stroke technology that has given us our latest world titles in the speciality".
Toni Bou: "To know I'm going to continue another two years as a Montesa rider gives me peace of mind and makes me happy. This is where I've achieved my eight world titles and there is nothing to stop me aspiring for more. I love the bike I'm competing with and I feel completely backed by a highly professional team. It's logical that when everything around me works perfectly, there is absolutely no reason to think about a change".
