The ArenaCross Tour visited Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Belfast and Sheffield before finishing on Saturday 18 February in Wembley, northwestern London. Frenchie, Thomas Ramette, rider of team SR75 Suzuki GB, partnered technically by Motul, has just been crowned champion in Pro category for the third consecutive time.
Thomas Ramette clinched a respectable quantity of trophies in Supercross during the 2016 season. Then he signed up for a new tour of UK stadiums which has ended with him on the first step of the final podium. But the last round in London wasn't the easiest to deal with.
'I came 3rd in the championship, nine points off the leader Soubeyras and one point off Pellegrini. As has been the case for three year, this final event counted double in terms of points. I bagged 2nd time in the time trials behind my team-mate Coulon before following that up with a win in the first half final. I unfortunately fell when I was second in the second half final.'
Thomas Ramette nevertheless qualified for the final and the superpole allowed him to stand 7 points off the leader. 'I got off to a good start in the final and got to be 2nd behind Coulon, whereas Soubeyras rapidly fell.
It wasn't easy to deal with mentally because I was torn between the desire to race for the win and the goal to stay on my tyres while bagging the title. I chose the second option!'
