These four official teams are in the same second and are just ahead of the private Honda of National Motos (1’39.681) and the BMW Motorrad France Team Thevent (1’39.690), which is still looking for the best rider association: Sebastien Gimbert and Sylvain Barrier are confirmed, but the place of third driver will be decided after the qualifiers between the American Jake Zemke and the Australian Josh Waters.

Then we find the Suzuki of Team R2CL (with in particular the legend of the TT) in 1’39.711, the Kawasaki n ° 8 of the Bolliger Team Switzerland (1’40.031), the Honda n ° 77 TT Legends (1’40.224) and the Suzuki n ° 72 of the Junior Team LMS (1’40.558), first Superstock bike ahead of the Yamaha DG Sport Herock (1’40.571).

The first qualifying sessions have just started at Le Mans.
