Posted by david@ukiyo | Riders

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!

Posted by david@ukiyo | Riders

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”

Posted by david@ukiyo | Riders

Tory Nyhaug won a silver medal at the BMX supercross world championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The 22-year-old Coquitlam, B.C. native who wears FIVE TRX gloves, has improved greatly this year after placing fifth in last year’s world championships. The 2012 Olympian has also faced a lot of adversity in recent years. Prior to the Olympics in 2012, he ruptured his spleen a mere 11 weeks before the Games. On Sunday, Nyhaug achieved the best result of his career having finished twice on the podium in World Cups in the past two seasons.

Team Canada’s coach, Ken Cools, was happy with Nyhaug’s and the rest of the team’s performance, highlighting that despite Nyhaug not being the best in practice, he always steps up on race day.
