Page 5 2013 Montesa Compound and Truck tour

This may not be what you were expecting. 

Personally I was expecting a bit of a Palace. A sofa to relax on, TV, Red Bull in the chiller .. NO NO NO - like me you were wrong :)

Step up the Bou staircase with me for a look around. Toni, don't worry, we wont be long :)


This tour of the truck took place later in the day after the end of the trial. Unfortunately Toni Bou crashed heavily on section 7 landing on a sharp rock and badly cutting his stomach with a deep laceration several cm long. Despite suffering this nasty injury Toni fought to the end and won the trial. He is amazing. 
                                                               They call him Toni the Bull, it is true. 


Toni handed in his punch card and signed off and was immediately taken by ambulance to hospital. He was physically sick and faint. At the time of writing this I don't know how he is, but knowing Toni I think he will be fine. Good luck Toni.

The workshop area. You can see this does not get used often as the bikes are prepared so well before the trial. Also Honda never break down anyway.


Behind Oscar, you can see the door to the office. Miguel Ciera was on the telephone so I could not see in there.
