Bol d'Or - 1:00 p.m .: the Yamaha GMT n ° 94 manages its lead two hours from the finish ... -

With nine laps ahead of its first chaser 2 hours from the finish, the No.94 Yamaha of the GMT team can reasonably begin to believe in its very first Bol d’Or… But anything can always happen in endurance: caution is required !

Christophe Guyot, David Checa, Sebastien Gimbert and Olivier Four seem to be heading straight for a historic first GMT 94 victory at the Bol d’Or !

If everything continues to go as planned, the Val-de-Marne team could indeed make the dream of its emblematic team manager Christophe Guyot and his entire team a reality. !

At noon, the Yamaha R1 n ° 3 Phase One Endurance passed the Suzuki n ° 2 of SERT, which was already in third position despite its heavy fall. The two machines, however, remained wheel to wheel and engaged in a nice showdown, but at 12:35 the Suzuki returned to the front..

Another nice duel, the one between the Honda n ° 55 of National Moto and the Yamaha n ° 99 of the Acropolis Moto Expert team for sixth place. The Honda takes the top at 12:10 and still maintains its advantage two hours from the finish.

Even if nobody, neither within the GMT nor at the Mutuelle des motards, the main sponsor of the team, still dares to publicly imagine a victory of the Yamaha n ° 94, we feel that the atmosphere is radically different between GMT and SERT.

And while David Checa waits in an armchair for his relay on the Yamaha n ° 94 of the GMT, hyper focused but also relaxed, the stress is more palpable in the suzuki n ° 1 and 2 as the change of driver approaches. SERT, however, remains assured of a new title of world endurance champion at the end of this superb edition..

Note also that in the Blockbusters, the Suzuki Firemen n ° 18 seized second place at 12:30 p.m..
