Double the SERT and nice 3rd place for the Yamaha n ° 99

24 Heures Motos - Double from SERT and nice 3rd place from Yamaha n ° 99 -

After two clock laps punctuated by rains, breakages, falls and twists of fate, it is finally the Suzuki n ° 2 of SERT which wins in front of n ° 1 while the Yamaha n ° 99 of the team Acropolis Moto Expert takes a superb third place.

Magnificent group shot from Suzuki which places four machines in the top 5 !

Zoom on…

Mathieu Lagrive on the No. 1 SERT Suzuki, which sets the new race lap record with a time of 1’39.812 in the sixth hour of racing.

The last hours of the race were still very lively: at 12:45, the Suzuki n ° 72 of the Junior Team passed the Honda RMT 21, however registered in the EWC category! Right in front of it, the Suzuki n ° 10 Infini / Yohann has in its sights the third step of the podium, occupied for the moment by the Yamaha n ° 99 Acropolis. She achieved her best time two hours before the end of the race and nibbled on seconds … The pressure was mounting at the foot of the podium. !

Abandonment of Honda n ° 56 at 12:40 pm due to a steering problem: annoying, a little over an hour from delivery…

The Kawasaki n ° 59 leaves the track at 12:50 pm and returns with the stroller from the Dunlop! It’s gonna be a long time for Thompson, but he’s gonna do anything to save the race.

At 1:10 pm, to thwart the rise of the Suzuki Infini / Yohann, the Acropolis team launched its fastest rider, Gregory Fastre. The game of chess continues !

At 1:16 p.m., n ° 119 fell at the Musee bend: the pilot managed to set off again and the team confided to Site that he was not injured, but that, in the final twist of fate, the race management demanded a emergency return to the pits because of "a portable fairing" !

At 2:30 p.m., Julien da Costa returns to the pits, handing over to Mathieu Lagrive and leaving his teammate to lead the n ° 1 on the second step of the podium..

The Kawasaki n ° 90 of the Runner Bike team slows down 25 minutes from the end of the race: a sad end for this team which has fallen to 27th place.
