RAMON CLINCHES BELGIAN TITLE
September 11, 2007
Team Suzuki Press Office - September 11, 2007.
Team Suzuki's Steve Ramon recaptured his Belgian Motocross title by
finishing second
overall at Orp-le-Grand and confirmed 2007 as an unforgettable year as
the new MX1
World Champion added yet another distinction to his crowded record of
achievement.
The 27 year old guided the world-title-winning RM-Z450 to second, first
and third in
the three motos in the penultimate round of the Flemish series to
confirm his third
crown in the competition and successful defence of his 2006 title.
"To take the world championship and the Belgian title in the same week
means that,
of course, I am happy," he said. "It has been a long and hard season and
I did not
train much this week as we were busy celebrating! We still have some
work to do as
the Motocross of Nations takes place in two weeks and I want to do my
best there for
Belgium and Suzuki."
Ramon will be part of the three man team travelling to Budds Creek for
the 61st
Motocross of Nations on September 23rd. Kevin Strijbos, who missed the
meeting due
to further surgery on his knee, took third overall in the Belgian
domestic
competition.
