“Having a perfect season and winning all races has been spectacular. After exceeding 100 wins, this was the challenge that I was lacking and I am very happy to have achieved it. In addition, I am also very happy to be able to tie with Jordi Tarrés on 14th consecutive victories. We always want more, so we hope to start next season continuing this good spell,” says Toni Bou as quoted from Honda Racing Corporation.
“Today’s trial was tough, the sections were very slippery and we had very little time, so we made a lot of mistakes. Luckily, everyone made mistakes but our opponents picked up more marks. I am very happy to be able to finish the season this way. Thank you very much to the whole team for making it possible.”

“I am very happy with how the trial went today and the season in general. The worst position I have finished in has been sixth, which means that I have had a great season with many third and fourth places. Today, in the first round I was fifth so what I wanted to push in the second. Since there were very steep areas, it was quite difficult physically but also technically.”
“Finally, I fought until the end and I was able to get up on the podium. I’m very happy. I want to thank Montesa, Honda and the HRC team as always for the great work they have done every day. We have finished with Toni winning all the trials and me at third, so we are a great team. Thank you also to all my family and friends for always supporting me.”
