While the battle rages between the leading machines, another winner hunter makes his appearance on the Nivernais circuit: the knight Sergeï himself, came to observe the Suzuki n ° 1 gradually take precedence over the Yamaha n ° 94 of the GMT…

The hour of the intense night … With the visit of the knight of Groland, Serge Nuques, Moto-Net is on the lookout for the events of this 69th Bol d’Or.
