The morning mists that have bathed the Magny-Cours circuit since daybreak do not seem to disturb the drivers, who continue to line up like clockwork superb laps in 1’45 for the best, without any change of position in the trio of head.
At 07:08, two simultaneous but independent falls occur at the turn of the Water Tower: the Yamaha n ° 14 which sets off again quickly and the Kawasaki n ° 8 of the Switzerland Bolliger team whose rider, Horst Saiger, seems to be a little stunned….
The fall of the Kawasaki n ° 8, which loses places over the laps, leads to changes in the rest of the classification.
The No. 2 Kawasaki, which came back to third place in the Blockbusters at 7.20 a.m. then second at 8 a.m., made a good comeback and was only two laps behind the lead machine, the No Limits Suzuki # 44, at 8.30 a.m. rushes back to the stand at 08:39.
Less luck on the other hand for the Kawasaki n ° 126 of Delta Endurance: victim of gasoline failure, Anthony Dos Santos brings it back to the stand with the stroller.
On the side of Kawasaki n ° 8, Horst Saiger was brought back at 07:37 am on the track near his machine by the medical vehicle. The Swiss driver seems to want to leave, but the abandonment is pronounced at 07:57.
Short stop at the edge of the track of the Triumph n ° 42 near the Water Tower, but the Daytona 675 leaves shortly after.
In 7th place in the general classification, the n ° 55 Honda of National Motos precedes the n ° 33 Yamaha of Decibels Endurance by nine laps and stops at the pit shortly before 9:00 am for a change of fairing. "It rubs a bit in the bends so you might as well change it"explains the team manager Christian Lavieille. The first three places remain unchanged: the Suzuki n ° 1 always precedes the two Yamaha n ° 94 and n ° 7 with respectively 3 and 9 laps in advance..

As for the Metiss n ° 45, still in the race, it occupies 12th place in the general classification at 8:15 a.m. !
Suzuki n ° 72, first Superstock, refueled at 8:42 am and Thomas Metro started again in 5th position in the general classification. See you soon six o’clock for the checkered flag, the superb performance of the students of the Lycee Le Mans Sud and their team manager Damien Saulnier already commands respect. !
