Last hour of madness between GMT and SERT

2:00 p.m. One hour from the end of this 27th edition of the 24H Moto, the battle rages between the Yamaha n ° 94 of the GMT, which has just lost its head in favor of the Suzuki n ° 2 which is ahead of it by 51 seconds … Baston !

The fatigue accumulated during the night evaporates as if by magic one hour before the arrival of the 24H Moto on the Bugatti circuit, which turns into a mini Grand Prix de France as the fight wins over the two leading motorcycles….

On a dry track and under a radiant sun, the Yamaha n ° 94 of the GMT was ahead of the Suzuki n ° 2 of the SERT by a handful of seconds since the middle of the night (56 seconds at 13:50).

"I really want this win, I won’t let go now that we’re almost there"Sebastien Gimbert ignites during a pit stop."I was all over the place, sometimes a bit limited but it’s racing and the more we roll the more the R1 becomes free !"

But drama at 2:00 pm: Gimbert returns to the pit after a lap for a new brake or gearbox problem. Immobilization at the stand. Suzuki n ° 2 took a lap at 2:07 p.m. while the GMT mechanics got busy on the Yamaha. Will the 94 manage to catch up? Will the Yamaha n ° 38 succeed in securing the 3rd place on the podium in front of the Suzuki n ° 72 which is behind it in fourth position after four laps? Tension rises in the pits of the Bugatti circuit…
