The seven-round British championship has been running for five years now. It provides an adrenaline-charged high point at an otherwise quiet time of year in the motorcycling calendar, putting both rider and machine through a series of hard-charging, technically-challenging, fast-paced AX motos with practice, qualifying, heats, and a Main Event all taking place on the one day/ evening. To make things a little more interesting, and to really push the Pros to the limit, the top eight from the heats also took part in a Hot Lap against the clock and, with three points up for grabs for the winning time, it often made all the difference. The nature of Arenacross, with its short and sharp set of rapid indoor motos, leaves no room for rider error or mechanical failure. In the build-up to the series finale at London’s Wembley Arena, the odds were stacked against 25-year-old Ramette. He hadn’t won a Main Event, and was nine points behind series leader Cedric Soubeyras (also Suzuki mounted) but, consistency and reliability paid-off in the end as Ramette and his Suzuki finished every race and his five-out-of-seven podium placings were enough to earn him the British title.

Prior to aggravating a long-standing knee problem, the 34-year-old ‘old man’ of Arenacross was the only Arenacross Pro rider to win two successive Main Events. Amazingly, despite carrying that injury, he continued racing right through to the very end; testament to the suitability of the Suzuki to such tight and demanding circuits.
