Team Suzuki Press Office – October 5.
Suzuki World MXGP and ETS Racing Fuels have renewed their long-term partnership for 2017 and beyond.
Work between the team and ETS started in early 2000 with Sylvain Geboers working closely together to develop and create racing fuels that improved engine performance; and now with Stefan Everts talking over as the team’s General Manager, both parties will continue to work on their partnership.
ETS Racing Fuels and the Suzuki team started working together when Michael Pichon was racing. Geboers and Frank Schroyen, Pichon’s mechanic at that time, worked closely together with Bruno Philippon (ETS Racing Fuels Technical Director) on developing and improving the racing fuel for the RM-Z450 machinery. Together, they achieved two world titles with Pichon and another in 2007 with Steve Ramon.
Everts and Schroyen, who will be the team’s chief mechanic next season, recently visited the ETS Racing Fuels facility in Bourgtheroulde, France. “It was a good reunion,” said Schroyen. “I have been working with ETS Racing Fuels for over a decade now and it was nice to see them all again in their great facility.”
