Many upheavals from the start !

The fight for victory begins in a thunderous way from the first laps of the race with failed starts, rain and crashes … The official Kawasaki n ° 11 and Honda n ° 55 retire, while the Yamaha n ° 94 of GMT ahead of SERT.

It was under relatively mild skies that the 56 crews focused on the start procedure: getting on his horse first, Vincent Philippe made the best start in front of the official Kawasaki driven by Mazuecos !

A start that did not succeed at the GMT Yamaha, since David Checa stalled and had to whip to return to the front lines! From the first bends, the rain makes its appearance. The Yamaha n ° 41 goes wrong while the Kawasaki n ° 11 passes the Suz ‘.

After two laps, the rain plays the spoilsport and after a few passes, the official Kawasaki comes out violently at the entrance of the Dunlop approached much too quickly on slick tires! The chassis seems severely damaged and the chances of the official Kawasaki France team seem compromised…

Steve Plater is gradually coming back to the top of the race, steadily turning a second faster than the No. 1 and No. 2 Suzuki leading the race ahead of the Yamaha Austria and Kawasaki Bolliger.

On the 7th lap, the majority of the riders switched to wet tires, yielding the lead to the surprising MV Agusta who remained on slicks !

From the twelfth loop, the GMT came back third behind the two SERT machines. The sun is coming back and the lap times are getting closer to two minutes.

Steve Plater on the Yamaha n ° 94 turns 1.5 seconds faster than the Suzuki n ° 2 driven by Costes, who must take almost 30 seconds on a drying track.

From the twentieth lap, positions change less and we witness a fall of the Diablo 666 and a breakage of the chain of the Honda n ° 59 and the pit stop of the Suzuki n ° 53 of at City Bike !

In the standings, n ° 2 still leads ahead of GMT, Suz ‘n ° 1, Yamaha Austria n ° 7, n ° 99 from Acropolis Moto Expert, n ° 14 from Maco Moto Racing and Yamaha Phase One n ° 3.
