TEKA SUZUKI MEN DOMINATE TONGEREN
Team Teka Suzuki WMX1's Steve Ramon won the overall at the
Flanders Trophy motocross in Tongeren, Belgium ahead of team-mate
Ken De Dycker and Jonathan Barragan.
The reigning MX1 World Champion won both the first and third
motos of the non-championship international event held in
the eastern region of Belgium and finished third in the other
to take a relatively easy overall victory.
"The track was very tough today," said Ramon later.
"The soil here is soft and big bumps formed. The short
20-minute races meant the pace was fast all day - especially
in moto three - and it was good practice for the Bulgarian
GP next weekend."
De Dycker suffered from a sore thumb on the day but was able
to win moto two to ensure that the Team Teka Suzukis won each
and every race of the day.
"I had a terrible start in moto one and I had to dig
very deep to finally finish third. The second heat was much
better for me as I took the lead fairly quickly and had control
from there. I suffered with a sore thumb today but that's
no excuse - Steve was just a lot better than me today."
Final standings: 1 Steve Ramon (BEL-Suzuki),
2 Ken De Dycker (BEL-Suzuki), 3 Jonathan Barragan (ESP-KTM),
4 Max Nagl (GER-KTM), 5 Clément Desalle (BEL-Suzuki),
6 Danny Theybers (BEL-Suzuki), 7 Tom Janssens (BEL-Honda),
8 Manuel Priem (BEL-Kawasaki), 9 Jurgen Van Nooten (BEL-KTM),
10 Roy Gijsel (NED-Kawasaki).
