At the option of refueling, the Kawasaki n ° 11 and Suzuki n ° 1 continue to exchange first place at three hours from the finish … The Greens, who do not play the world championship, will do absolutely everything which is in their power to sign a third consecutive victory at Le Mans after and, boosted by their triumph at this year.

Less than 2 seconds behind after 21 hours of racing !

Just before noon, the gap between the two leading motorcycles is 1.2 seconds … Suzuki n ° 1 had a refueling delay, but Dominique Meliand’s men – who are playing for the world champion title – do not aren’t exactly the type to settle for second place !

The arrival of these 24H Moto du Mans 2012 should therefore be bitterly disputed between the two leaders who turn in 1’40, just as for the third place on the podium of Le Mans and of the world championship between the Yamaha n ° 94 and the BMW n ° 99 four laps behind the leaders in 1’41 !

The knife between his teeth, David Checa – still holder of the lap record in the race in 1’38.562 – takes out the big attack and takes the Yamaha n ° 94 in 1’40 against Erwan Nigon riding the BMW n ° 99 ( 1’41). Just before noon, the Spanish fighter plane leaves the controls of the R1 to Kenny Foray while Erwan Nigon transmits the German missile to Damian Cudlin.

The leading quartet is ahead of Honda n ° 77 TT Legends (5th at 15 laps), Yamaha n ° 7 of the YART brilliantly recovered (6th at 20 laps) and Honda n ° 55 National Motos (7th at 27 laps)

In Superstock, the Suzuki n ° 67 of Starteam (8th scratch) is ahead of the Kawasaki n ° 33 of Louit Moto, the BMW n ° 13 of Penz13 Kraftwerk and the Yamaha n ° 333 of Viltaïs.
