Ramon Wins Hawkstone Park International

With final preparations for the
2010 MX1 World Championship in full swing, Steve Ramon travelled to
Hawkstone Park in the UK this weekend to take part in the highly regarded
international motocross event. Having started the 2010 season strong Ramon
was determined to keep the momentum going, and that is exactly what he
did.

Heat 1 got underway under perfect
blue skies, and as the gate dropped Ramon powered his Rockstar Teka Suzuki
to the first turn, emerging in 3^rd position and hot on the wheel
of De Reuver. Whilst Tanel Leok got out front, both Ramon and De Reuver
battled it out lap after lap. Ramon took the advantage from De Reuver, and
held it almost to the end, but De Reuver just got the upper hand with a
couple of laps remaining putting Ramon in a well raced 3^rd
position as they crossed the line.

Heat 2 would see another good
start by Ramon, as he once again emerged from the first turn in
3^rd position. In true Ramon style the flying Belgian glided his
way over the rough circuit and into the lead within a handful of laps. Once
out front the Bomb just kept it clean and lead to the end, crossing the
line to take both the heat win and the overall win for the day.

“I am happy to take the
overall win today. In the first moto I battled again with arm pump, and
just couldn’t ride as fast as I wanted. The second moto I was more
relaxed and felt strong. I have a few things to work on now before
Bulgaria, I know I can go faster, and I am just gonna get out and practice
a few things this coming week to try and get to the point I am satisfied
with.” Commented Ramon.
