FOX welcomes 10 x World Champion and MX legend Stefan Everts along with his son and future star Liam Everts. The two generations of Everts will join our legendary sponsored athletes such as Ricky Carmichael in the FOX Hall of Fame.
Stefan Everts comments:
‘As a racer I have always been a secret fan of the FOX brand! We’ve got the chance to be part of FOX and we are very motivated by this exclusive partnership. It’s a great opportunity for Liam and he is very proud to wear FOX gear – some of his heroes are now his team mates!’
‘I have been using the same boot since 1996 so when I tried on the Instinct boot for the first time I was surprised at how comfortable they were and impressed with the fit’
‘The FOX brand has been a leader in terms of image and development and I look forward to what the future will be for FOX and MX’
Ricky Carmichael comments:
‘I’m excited to hear the news that Stefan and his son are joining the Fox Racing Team! Someone of Stefan’s caliber deserves to be associated with this great company!’
Matthieu Bazil, General Manager of Fox Head Europe, comments:
‘When a racer like Stefan Everts approaches you to have himself as an ambassador and his son as a sponsored rider, it’s naturally a YES! We are extremely pleased to include Stefan and Liam into our plans for the future; having the two generations on board will be unique – Stefan will offer great input for our product development which Liam and other future hopefuls will benefit from.’
In 2014, FOX will support Stefan in his forecasted projects as well as FOX product development. There are also plans for a 12 hour enduro race including Stefan riding with other Ex-Champions – dates to be released.
Next year Liam will ride the European Championship and the possibility of Junior World Championship as well as local Belgium races.
