With less than six hours to go, everything is still possible for the order of arrival on the podium between the Suzuki of SERT and the official Kawasaki n ° 11…
While their pilots on the track give their all without saving themselves, the suspense remains and the gaps are narrowing between the leaders! The Yamaha n ° 99 of Acropolis Moto Expert is in the process of achieving a great feat: restarted in 21st place after a fall at 11:11 p.m., the bike which was racing under the colors of GMT 94 last year has since recovered to 7th place in the scratch before 9:00 a.m..
His ambition? "Finish first private in the 24 Hours, just behind the factory motorcycles !"An objective which for the moment – at 9:30 am – has been achieved…
Honda, disillusionment…
At Honda, the end result is already proving to be quite disappointing compared to last year’s historic victory: seven hours from the finish, while the Honda # 91 of Profil + DAP 91 is lingers in her stand after having returned to the stroller because of a rear wheel problem, the best representative of the world’s leading manufacturer is only in 13th position in the scratch and runs in the Superstock category !
Who knew this Select Machines Honda Superstock # 56 would be the best-placed Honda overall after eight hours of racing? ?
At 8:07 am, the n ° 91 Honda finally returned to the race, but set off again in 19th position! Cruel disappointment for the defending team which was always aiming for the top 5 at 6:00 am: it finally gave up at 9:17 am due to engine failure…
In Superstock, the Honda n ° 56 occupies the third place, behind the Yamaha n ° 57 LTG 57 which pursues the leader for a century, namely the Suzuki n ° 72 which one does not present any more. !
The Italian twin-cylinder n ° 81 (Ducati 1098) is still racing in this category, in 11th place and 29th overall.
The bet is also on the way to being successful for the BMW Motorrad Motorsport n ° 17: at six hours from the finish, the flat 1200 Teuton continues alone in the Open category its little man of way to the 18th position of the general.
The firefighters in force !
In Superproduction, behind the firefighters of the Suzuki n ° 18 well established in the lead, it is the Kawasaki n ° 15 of Jadoul Motorsport which takes advantage of the concerns of the Yamaha n ° 6 of the Red Zone team to take second place in the category (11th scratch).
At 9:30 am, the official Kawasaki n ° 11 consolidated its second place only fifty seconds behind the Suzuki n ° 2 in the lead, even if it was chased about twenty seconds behind by the Suzuki n ° 1 of SERT which increased the pace with a Julien Da Costa unleashed in the early morning! The war of nerves continues…
As for the Yamaha GMT 94, it now seems loose, still in battle for fifth place with its Austrian colleague n ° 7 from Austria Racing Team, very consistent.
See you later for a new live point !
