12h00: the two official Suzuki take the lead in the race…

The positions have remained unchanged for more than 2 hours in all categories, except for the first place of the Superbike that the two Suzuki of SERT are competing for … But with the Kawasaki n ° 11 in ambush in third place !

The positions have been frozen for more than 2 hours in all categories except for the first place of the Superbike that the two Suzuki of SERT are competing for, with the Kawasaki n ° 11 in ambush in the third place…

Who will win? Advantage to Suzuki n ° 2 three hours from the end.

Shortly before ten o’clock, the n ° 11 Kawasaki lost its second place on a premature return to the pit when it was not expected. With fatigue helping, Julian Mazuecos thought he saw a "box" sign when passing the pit straight line.

At 10:15 am, the official Kawa found itself third behind the two SERT Suzuki. The Suzuki n ° 2, leading the race, is one minute ahead of the n ° 1 and therefore takes the status of favorite at this moment to win less than 5 hours from the finish.

Entry into the Top 10 of the Yamaha n ° 3 of the Phase One endurance team.

Among the teams racing for the World Endurance Championship – of which the 24 Hours of Le Mans is the first round -, three hours from the finish, the Suzuki SERT n ° 1 team takes the virtual lead of the championship..

The No. 1 GSX-R is ahead of the official No. 11 Kawasaki ZX-10R and the No. 7 Yamaha R1 from Austria Racing Team. Next in the championship is the Yamaha n ° 3 of Phase One endurance..

At 10:41 am, due to an engine problem, the Honda n ° 55 defending the title retires, while it was in the depths of the classification (32nd out of 35).

At 10.45 am, the lead gaps narrowed: less than two seconds now separate the two leading Suzuki … No.1 passes No.2, while Kawasaki No.11 is only forty seconds behind.

10:55 a.m .: start of fire following a reported fall at the bend of La Chapelle on Suzuki n ° 22 from the Lycee professionnel Jaurès in the hands of Eric Thomas, without seriousness for the pilot who tries to restart his motorcycle but returns to the stroller.

At three hours from the end, Suzuki n ° 2 therefore appears favorite with its lap ahead of Suzuki n ° 2 … But anything can happen in endurance. !
