Today is Toni Elías' birthday. Happy birthday!

Today is a very special day for one of the Spanish riders in the Moto2 category, as it is the birthday of Toni Elías, who turns 24 immersed in a new adventure alongside Team Aspar and in the category where he has enjoyed the most success, the intermediate class.

After a complicated season in the MotoGP World Championship with LCR Honda, the Catalan decided to take another step back to a great team, Aspar Team, in Moto2, where he has established himself as one of the favorites alongside his Suter. Still, the intermediate class is a constant battle among great riders, and there is a lot of quality on the grid, so it won’t be easy for Elías to return to the top.

The Catalan turns 29 years old with his focus set on this new challenge, leaving behind the hard times and eager to get back on the throttle. He certainly deserves a great season, and it could be a very interesting year: a great team, a great bike and plenty of strength on his part, although he has to readapt to Moto2.

From PlusMoto.com we wish the 24-year-old the very best, because beyond being a great rider, proven over the years, he is also a wonderful person, one of our most beloved riders with the most fans. So congratulations, Toni, and good luck for 2012, which is expected to be full of excitement.

Happy Birthday!
