News Trials Trial World Championship
Toni Bou’s reign of terror over the trials world is set to continue for at least another four years as the 37-year-old 34-time World Champion (which makes it possible that he’ll be a 40-year-old 40-time World Champion too, how cool would that be?) extends his relationship with the Repsol Honda Team for another four years which will bring them to a total of 21 years together.
Bou initially joined Honda in 2007 and in the 17 years since there have been many successes for both the Japanese manufacturer and the rider, who has become the most decorated competitor in the history of Trial. The extension of the contract runs until 2027, which will mark two decades of an alliance that has entered the history books of the competition.
Bou has achieved an impressive record of 17 titles in the indoor discipline and 17 outdoors. With a total of 221 victories and 291 podiums, he and the Repsol Honda Team are motivated to continue increasing these incredible figures in the coming seasons.
“I am very grateful to the team for trusting in me for four more years," says Toni. "I have always said that I want to finish my sporting career with Repsol Honda and that is still the goal. I'm happy to remain with what I consider my family, with the team with whom I have won all my titles. I want to continue in the same way and always give 100 per cent in each competition, and fight to get the maximum from the rest of my career. I have achieved more than I could have dreamed of and obviously, we will fight for more.”
