Julian Simon (middle) leads the MotoGP 125cc class for 2009

Using pure speed and exceptional body control on his motorcycle, Julian Simon of Team Bancaja Aspar is currently leading the 125cc class of the MotoGp, the world’s premier motorcycling championship, with a season of 18 Grands Prix in 14 countries. In his own words below, Julian describes how the Boa Lacing System stands out as his go to technology on the AXO Lancer moto boots.

“The great thing about Boa is that I can adjust the boot as I wish through micrometric increments. This system is for sure better than traditional closure systems such as zips. From a performance standpoint, it is more practical than other boots with internal bootie and laces. The system never loosens during the entire race.” – Julian Simon of Team Bancaja Aspar

Blood, sweat and tears - Stuart Oliver's winning photo

From Stuart Oliver via Facebook:

My Boa story is about riding Apex, the trail with teeth, and how plastic and rubber are much more durable that skin and bones. In the wee hours of the morning one day this spring , I was attempting to get a quick Apex loop ride in before work when I… was ardently reminded that the Apex Beast preys on sleepy riders and takes no prisoners. With the early morning silence as the only witness to the Apex attack, All I have left are the scars, a photo and a set of perfectly functioning BOA styled out bike shoes.
