SR75 Suzuki’s Cyrille Coulon took a commanding win at the second round of this year’s Arenacross tour in Glasgow, taking with it the series lead and making it back-to-back wins for the RM-Z450.
Coulon qualified second behind his teammate and defending champion Thomas Ramette, before Ramette went on to win his opening heat race, while Coulon struggled to a seventh placed finish. However, in the second round of heats, Coulon ensured his place in the main event by taking the win ahead of Ramette.
The night got better for Coulon after he secured an additional three championship points by winning the hot lap, as three RM-Z450s filled the top three spots on the timing sheets.
Once the gate dropped for the final time on the night, Coulon snatched the lead and never looked back, pulling a comfortable lead ahead of*Ramette, who in turn made sure he was under no pressure from third place, as the duo cruised to an SR75 Suzuki 1-2. Coulon’s main event win also gave him the series lead.
In contrast, Angelo Pellegrini – who arrived in Glasgow with the red plate after winning the opening round in Manchester on his Team RFX St Blazey Suzuki – had a torrid main event. After a poor start he began to make ground and was in the hunt for a podium before crashing out. His bike was hit by another rider meaning he was unable to remount. However, he still holds second place in the championship standings.
His teammate, Cederic Soubeyras took raced to fourth place in the main event after taking a win and a third place in his heat races, as well as second place in the night’s hot lap.
The tour now heads to Birmingham on 21 January, with Coulon holding a slender two*point lead over Pellegrini.
