On Honda n ° 111, Randy de Puniet did not spare his efforts to win his first victory in a 24 hour race. !

Fall, fastest lap in the race (1’36.819, just 5 seconds from the record held by Johann Zarco on a MotoGP M1), manly overtaking and constant attack: the former Grand Prix rider was particularly illustrated during this 42nd edition, even if the Kawasaki SRC n ° 11 team had an almost perfect race, both on the track and in the pits, which ended up paying.

Very contrasted results for Honda

"On a regular basis, it seems a little complicated to me", admitted an hour before the arrival Gilles Stafler – Randy’s former employer with the Greens – when the Honda n ° 111 had taken the lead, while specifying that after leading for 8 pm, it was "out of the question to settle for second place, even if it would not be a bad operation in the championship".
