Team Teka Suzuki WMX1's Steve Ramon won the overall at the Flanders Trophy motocross in Tongeren, Belgium ahead of team-mate Ken De Dycker and Jonathan Barragan.

The reigning MX1 World Champion won both the first and third motos of the non-championship international event held in the eastern region of Belgium and finished third in the other to take a relatively easy overall victory.

 "The track was very tough today," said Ramon later. "The soil here is soft and big bumps formed. The short 20-minute races meant the pace was fast all day - especially in moto three - and it was good practice for the Bulgarian GP next weekend."

De Dycker suffered from a sore thumb on the day but was able to win moto two to ensure that the Team Teka Suzukis won each and every race of the day.

"I had a terrible start in moto one and I had to dig very deep to finally finish third. The second heat was much better for me as I took the lead fairly quickly and had control from there. I suffered with a sore thumb today but that's no excuse - Steve was just a lot better than me today."

Final standings:

1 Steve Ramon (BEL-Suzuki)
2 Ken De Dycker (BEL-Suzuki)
3 Jonathan Barragan (ESP-KTM)
4 Max Nagl (GER-KTM)
5 Clament Desalle  (BEL-Suzuki)
6 Danny Theybers  (BEL-Suzuki)
7 Tom Janssens (BEL-Honda)
8 Manuel Priem (BEL-Kawasaki)
9 Jurgen Van Nooten (BEL-KTM)
10 Roy Gijsel (NED-Kawasaki)
