“Another circle is completed”, the Belgian champion said. “When I first rode with Suzuki I wore Gaerne boots, and now I have come back to both brands! It’s a weird coincidence, but nothing happens by chance. So, this collaboration will be for sure a great support in the next seasons.
“Gaerne is an excellent company that manufactures each single item with great passion and one of the best boots in the world as far as safety and technology are concerned. This is the real made in Italy”!
Marta Gazzola, Marketing Manager at Gaerne, and daughter of founder Ernesto Gazzola, seen here left with Everts, said: “Stefan is the greatest champion ever. In his role as team manager, he’s doing his job with as much professionalism and commitment as when he raced. The Suzuki MXGP Team managed by Stefan Everts are a guarantee of success, and have ambitious goals that they’ll reach without any difficulty”.
Kevin Strijbos and Arminas Jasikonis will be wearing Gaerne SG.12 boots in the 2017 MXGP series. Designed in-house by Gaerne’s R&D department, it features the Italian specialist’s patented DSPS (Dual Stage Pivot System). The new design features a slimmer shape in the toe area for an improved feel of the shift lever, a steel toe cap, adjustable, interchangeable aluminium buckles, special rubber inserts for bike grip and heat resistance and a “Dual Composite” anti-shock rubber sole.
