January 2, 200422 yr Laia Sanz joins team Montesa Laia Sanz, current womens' World trials champion, will join the factory Montesa-HRC team in 2004. The team is very proud welcoming into its ranks a new reference for this motorcycling speciality at world series level. Born on December 11, 1985 in Corbera de Llobregat (Barcelona), Laia Sanz is the best female rider in the history of the sport, a status proven by the four World series titles achieved by the young Catalan rider from the year 2000, as well as the European titles in the last two seasons. Laia Sanz:
January 2, 200422 yr "Sainz moves" I thought , " mm i wonder has happened there then , as he signed to drive for Citroen for another year" Only to discover that it was not the WRC but trialling Oh well at least the 3 boys will be able to help her with her technique!!
January 3, 200422 yr Sainz--Will retire from WRC at the end of the 2004 champoinship series , or so he claims after crapping the bed in the last event of 2003....and.................. Sanz--Signs with HRC/ Montesa !!! Wow that is BIG news for her and the boys in the junior WTC ....... Glad to see she's off that HEAVY Beta and riding for the best trials team in the business now..........VIVA MONTESA,,,,,,,,,D
January 3, 200422 yr Honda sure likes to buy the #1 plate. I bet she looks great in Red. Edited January 3, 200422 yr by City Trials
January 3, 200422 yr Honda sure likes to buy the #1 plate. Craig, when Laia switched from Gas Gas to Beta 2 years ago she was the Number #1 Woman in the World. Did you make the same comments about Beta then??? Please be fair. You assume that this is about money. The truth is that you do not know the details of her deal with Montesa. Laia has been given an incredible opportunity. She is on the Montesa World Team and able to train with the best riders in the world. She will be given great equipment and great support. As a fellow trials rider I wish her the best. Martin Belair US Montesa Edited January 3, 200422 yr by Martin Belair
January 3, 200422 yr Well said, Martin. Thumbs up to Laia and Montesa/Honda for supporting some of the world's best riders in the world's best sport...with the possible exception of curling....and the Scottish utility-pole toss...you can't beat those two for laughs.
January 9, 200422 yr As posted earlier, I was right, she looks great in Red, thanks for the photo Martin. What is that painted sign mean on the rock behind her? http://www.montesausa.com/blogimages/Laia2.jpg Edited January 9, 200422 yr by City Trials
January 9, 200422 yr What is that painted sign mean on the rock behind her?http://www.montesausa.com/blogimages/Laia2.jpg It means you could well be gay. The rest of us hadn't noticed any rocks.
January 9, 200422 yr Well now that you mention it, looks like the publicist should have caught the hammer and sickle in the background. Of course it could mean that Montesa is receiving eastern block backing?
