A look back at the collective fall that took place in the first round of this 73rd Bol d’Or, which in principle removes any chance of victory for three serious outsiders…

In the tumult of the first lap, the pack of around 50 bikes rushed into the Adelaide bend, the tightest on the Magny-Cours circuit and the one that required the hardest braking. Author of a good start, Cedric Tangre on the Suzuki n ° 72 of the Junior Team follows the Honda n ° 55 of National Moto and the Yamaha n ° 14 of the Slovak team BK Maco.

But when it comes time to take the brakes… nothing! Cedric cannot brake properly and causes the crash of Emeric Jonchière on the Honda National Motos, Dani Ribalta on the Yamaha BK Maco Moto Racing Team and Jeremy Keller on the Kawasaki Atomic Moto Sport! The Suzuki rider manages to set off again, but has to go back through his stand to change the fork … A big operation that will restart the GSX-R n ° 72, serious canidate to victory in Superstock, in 48th position.

Dani Ribalta on the handlebars of the Slovak Yam also manages to join his stand, despite a suspicion of a broken wrist. The mechanics repair the rare damage to the bike which leaves quickly, but the team will undoubtedly have to manage the 23 hours of races remaining with only two riders.

Hard blow for National Motos…

But the big loser of this clash is undoubtedly the National Motorcycles team … Its rider, Emeric Jonchière, author of the 4th fastest time in the Superpole, is evacuated after a slight loss of consciousness. Transferred to Nevers Hospital where he suffers from a slight head trauma, he is currently under observation. Huge disappointment for this team which was clearly aiming for the podium, at least !
