8H of Slovakia 2018: Two Yamaha in the lead after 4 hours of racing

After 4 hours of racing, the Yamaha n ° 7 of the YART is a few seconds ahead of its n ° 94 colleague of the GMT and the Honda n ° 5 FCC TSR Honda France, which had started in pole position on the new model of the CBR 2018.

Behind this leading trio, the Honda n ° 111 Endurance Racing follows a few lengths while the Kawasaki n ° 11 SRC, which crashed at the start of the race at the hands of Randy de Puniet, climbed a lap behind the leaders.

Suzuki Endurance Racing Team n ° 2 is struggling in 10th position behind BMW NRT48 6th, BMW Mercury Racing n ° 21 7th, Kawasaki Bolliger n ° 8 8th and Yamaha n ° 333 of Viltaïs Experience 9th.

After a masterful holeshot by Gregg Black for the SERT, the fight for leadership began with Gregory Leblanc riding Honda Endurance Racing and Randy de Puniet on the SRC Kawasaki, which crashed after just 15mm of racing.

The first hour was particularly eventful with from the first laps a fall by Roberto Rolfo on the Yamaha Moto Ain aiming for victory in Superstock, then the fall of Randy de Puniet and Lucy Glokner on the BMW n ° 90.

This third round of the endurance world championship promises to be again difficult for the SERT, which also received a Stop and Go penalty, due to the lack of marking on a tire during practice ( 20 tire stickers are awarded in EWC and 13 in Superstock for an 8 hour race).
