SR75 World Team Suzuki launches Shot collaboration in style!
The start of Europe's strongest SX championship, ArenacrossUK/Arenacross World Tour, was highly anticipated last Saturday. The championship started well for the leading SR75 World Team Suzuki with a double podium. Cyrille Coulon finished second after Charles Lefrançois, reigning champion Thomas Ramette finished third. The opener in Manchester gave Shot Race Gear, the new kit sponsor of SR75 World Team Suzuki, the perfect introduction to the fantastic world of Arenacross!
A wise man once said that life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you'll get. Forrest Gump might also have been talking about Arenacross with his famous statement. Thanks to a strong field of participants that also included stars such as Dan Reardon, Cedric Soubeyras, Evgeny Bobryshev, Angelo Pellegrini, Fabien Izoird and Adam Chatfield, the competition in the ArenacrossUK After all, never before have they been so intense and the matches have never been so unpredictable.
Still, many eyes were on it in the Manchester Arena Thomas Ramette, three-time Arenacross UK champion and former European champion and his teammate Cyrille Coulon, ex-French SX1 champion. This makes sense because Ramette started his title defense while Coulon led the championship in 2017 until he suffered a knee injury. Thomas had an anything but perfect evening, but managed to reach the final through the repechage. The 26-year-old Frenchman delivered a solid performance and thus reduced a potential disaster to a successful damage limitation assignment.
The SR75 World Team from manager Geoff walker acquired an excellent reputation both on and off the track. In addition, the popular team also has a reputation for doing things differently. The SR75 World Team Suzuki is the first truly globally active supercross formation. As in previous years, the team competes in Great Britain, the largest French supercross competitions, selected AMA SX competitions and major non-championship events such as the Monster Energy Cup or Red Bull Straight Rhythm. This means you can literally see Thomas and Cyrille riding all over the world in their Shot Race Gear equipment!
Also the SR75 development team with Howard Wainwright en Callum Mitchell will now be released in Shot Race Gear. Wainwright and Mitchell will start in the British MX2 Championship and perhaps some EMX250 rounds. Both riders are guided by former GP heat winner Carl Nunn. For their first steps in supercross, they can count on the support of the experienced Cyrille Coulon and Thomas Ramette.
Geoff Walker, owner/manager SR75 World Team Suzuki: “It is very exciting that SR75 World Team Suzuki is now working with a great brand like Shot! The riders are also crazy about the clothing. I have ridden at quite a high level myself, so I know how important it is for riders to take to the track completely freely and with confidence. To be honest, I'm quite obsessive; everything must be as perfect as possible. That is also how Shot thinks about motocross clothing. I think that's why Shot Race Gear fits so well with SR75 World Team Suzuki!”
Serge Guidetty, Shot Race Gear sporting manager: “It's really great that we now have Thomas Ramette, Cyrille Coulon and the entire team on Shot. What Geoff (Walker) has already done with his team is simply fantastic! It says a lot about their passion for supercross and how driven they are. If it is challenging and fun, they will be the first to participate, anywhere in the world! The energy that the SR75 World Team Suzuki radiates is amazing. That makes them fantastic ambassadors for Shot Race Gear. Congratulations to Cyrille and Thomas for their great start to the championship.”
