While Roman Ramos did well to not crash despite riding outside his comfort zone on a damp Assen circuit and finish 19th, QMMF president Nasser Khalifa al-Attiyah has said that he hopes the 2013 Spanish CEV Championship winner springs up a surprise of a performance soon.

“Ramos is a beginner. He needs time to learn the circuits from around the world. He is performing well, going for positions. All he needs to do is race with confidence and prove with results. We give him all the support he needs and if he can surprise us like Anthony does, that would be great,” al-Attiyah told Gulf Times yesterday.

“We will look into his performances at the end of the year and decide on the future.”

He added that the team might look into roping in a top rider for the next season to be able to compete with the big boys in the category. “If we can have two strong riders, it would do well for our campaign,” he said, not commenting on the names on his mind.
