Team Suzuki Press Office – February 16.

SR75 Molson #racing Suzuki’s #thomasramette closed in on the Monster Energy Arenacross Tour powered by Ford Ranger Championship lead with victory at the weekend’s penultimate round at Sheffield Arena, as team-mate #cyrillecoulon joined him on the podium.

The French #rmz450 rider has closed the points-gap on series leader Cedric Soubeyras (Yamaha) to just three points heading into the championship finale at SSE Arena in Wembley, London on February 27th.

Both Ramette and Coulon showed their class from the start with Coulon taking his first pole position of the year and Ramette posting third on the timesheets.

After taking the holeshot in the Main, Ramette put-in in an almost flawless race, riding smoothly and not pushing too much, claiming his fifth Main #event win of the season, as Coulon blasted from the gate and muscled his way to third within a couple of laps and maintained his position to the flag.

Thomas Ramette:

“Tonight was tough as I feel a little low in health. I worked hard to focus because I really like #racing here in Sheffield Arena. I knew I had to take the victory tonight so I pushed my focus and I came away with the win and only three points behind in the championship, which is amazing. I am so happy to have Cyrille on the podium with me and my team is making everything perfect for me every time I am on track with my amazing bike. I thank every sponsor and friend in the team for all they do. I feel no pressure now going into London for the finale as I have nothing to lose. I was knocked out of this championship and I have worked very hard to get myself back into the race. This makes me very happy and I look forward to #racing at Wembley again. I am very excited"

Cyrille Coulon:

"I like this Arena and I like to race here in Sheffield. My speed was very good today and I felt great on my Suzuki bike, but I rode smoother and at a lower speed in the final to keep my position. It is fantastic to finish on the podium with my team-mate and it is great for my team and all our sponsors.”

Geoff Walker – Team Manager:

“The guys rode amazing all day and to have both riders on the podium is just what we aimed for; it’s very cool to accomplish this goal. Both riders again raced with respect and showed their class to take these results to get Thomas back into the championship hunt when we had been written off just a few weeks ago. The 72 point lead in the Pro Team Championship makes me incredibly proud as our teamwork, with support from our team partners and our amazing Suzuki race bikes, is so important to me as the boss. We will continue to work as a team to prepare for London and to say we are excited about this is an understatement. We have nothing at all to lose and this is a great position to be in. Once again I would like to thank all our team sponsors, our amazing riders and of course Paul Coop for his pit work this weekend.”
