After winning the opening race of 2015 Supersport World Championship in Australia, FIVE rider (wearing RFX1 gloves), Jules Cluzel (MV Augusta) prevailed again in Portugal last Sunday.
After his first MX2 GP victory in Spain, FIVE Gloves rider Valentin GUILLOD pursues his success by clinching his second victory in a row winning the Great Britain GP in Matterley Basin.
A few days after he clinched his first GP victory in Spain, the FIVE team met with Valentin GUILLOD on the beautiful track of Puymeras, South of France, surrounded by grape vines, to shoot a video presenting the great features of our MXF Pro Rider motocross glove. Behind the camera, Raphael SAUZE and Arnaud SCIUS took all the risks to capture amazing images. The film will be soon online, right here. Here are a few shots from behind the scene.
Valentin GUILLOD, (2 years old from Switzerland) won his first MX2 GP in Talavera, Spain this week-end, thanks to a second moto win after finishing 6th in the first moto.
Fabio QUARTARARO (who turned 16 years old a few weeks ago) clinched his first Pole Position in the Moto 3 class in Jerez, Spain.
Thomas CHAREYRE won his third Supermoto World Championship wearing FIVE SF1 gloves, riding his factory TM, after an incredible season. Thomas came to the final which took place at Jesolo (Italy) with 14 points ahead of his Finnish rival (2013 World Champion) Mauno Hermunen (also FIVE rider) who had no choice but to beat the French to retain his crown. Thomas proved to be the most efficient on the duration of the championship and intelligently managed his lead to finish third in the first heat and 4th in the second race after a poor start. This result proved enough to clinch the riders’ title as he offered TM the manufacturer title. This is Adrian’s brother Thomas, who won the final round. Obviously, the FIVE riders have dominated the championship race after race. Triple World Champion : congratulations Thomas!
The final event of the Motocross MX2 World Championship took place in Mexico, in León, sixth metropolis of the country, and allowed Valentin Guillod to finish the season on a high note. The FIVE rider was offered his second podium of the season, taking third place in the Grand Prix. Valentin completes this long global campaign in seventh place overall.
“It’s great to end the season like that, I wanted a second podium because I enjoyed the first one so much. The weekend was better than in Brazil, even if I did not have a good feeling on this track. You had to be pretty aggressive with the bike because it was losing power with altitude, as I like to ride on the engine torque. In the first race I finished sixth, I took too long to put myself in the rhythm, but in the second I have managed to sneak early in the race to take a moment to lead the race and finish second. The GP season has passed really quickly, I would like to thank all of those who are behind me, family, friends, team and sponsors”
