Automatic, systematic, HYDRO-matic

The relentlessly amazing 2015 Arenacross Tour just keeps on keeping on with round six of eight going off inside Glasgows awesome SSE Hydro Arena where around 8,000 fans watched on intently as crazy Frenchman Cyrille Coulon took a well-deserved last-gasp victory over SR75 Molson team-mate Thomas Ramette.
In arenacross terms the set-up inside the SSE Hydro is certainly unique and the circular floor space allows course constructors Dirt Wurx to build something slightly different to the norm. The dirt is without doubt the best of the series so far too and this ensures the racing is fast and furious all night long.
The heat races kick off the on-track action and it's business as usual for series leader Ramette who takes a start to finish win in the opener from LPE Kawasaki's Loic Rombaut and Oakleaf Honda's Romain Biela who makes it 1-2-3 for the French!
Le Tricolour is well represented in heat two also with LPE Kawasaki's supersub Florent Richier and Coulon heading home British battlers Elliott Banks-Browne, Matt Bayliss and Ashley Greedy.
Heat three sees Ramette take another win while team-mate CC5 follows him home a close second. Travis Pitt has his best ride of the series so far to take a well-deserved third on the MCF St Blazey Honda – a result that puts him in an arenacross main for the first time!
The fourth and final heat is another Richier riding clinic as he easily bests Adam Chatfield and Oakleaf Honda's Italian stallion Angelo Pellegrini while last weekend's winner EBB and Rombaut round out the top five.
