TEKA SUZUKI SET FOR MALLORY PARK MX1
 Team
Teka Suzuki WMX1 team riders Steve Ramon and Ken De Dycker
will enter the sixth round of the FIM MX1 World Motocross
Championship at a brand new venue for GP motocross this weekend
at Mallory Park in Great Britain.
Although few people have seen the layout for this weekend's
race it's expected to be a jump-filled circuit that will see
the riders spend almost as much time in the air as on the
soil surface of the freshly-built track.
Ramon enters Mallory Park sat in second place in the series
on his factory RM-Z450. Looking to close the gap on current
championship leader David Philippaerts, Ramon - the reigning
MX1 World Champion - relishes racing in Great Britain and
enjoys the style of circuit normally seen in England.
"I'm really looking forward to racing in Britain,"
says Ramon. "Although we have never been to this circuit
before I normally enjoy the British round of the championship
because the circuits are technical with many big jumps and
the crowd get very noisy and excited."
De Dycker is equally excited about racing in Britain again
and the former British MX1 champion will be looking to either
improve on or at least consolidate his fourth place in the
championship on the newly-built Mallory Park circuit.
"I spent two years racing in Britain and I have a lot
of friends and fans there," he says. "Yeah, it's
a new track but I have ridden tracks built by the same guy
who worked on Mallory Park and I expect it will be a lot of
run to ride there. The British GP is always one of the better
ones too and I hope to put on a good show with my factory
Suzuki."
The weather forecast for this weekend's race is for rain
throughout the weekend, which could make conditions tricky
on the freshly worked surface.
