Saturday – 5.15 p.m.. Let’s go ! At 3 p.m. sharp this afternoon at Magny-Cours, the Bol d’Or 2011 kicked off under bright sunshine and in front of an enthusiastic audience !
Author of the best start, Vincent Philippe on the handlebars of Suzuki n ° 1 applied himself to maintain the leadership of SERT and completed the first lap in front of Kawasaki riders n ° 11, of BMW Motorrad n ° 99, Yamaha n ° 7 from YART, Honda 55 from National Moto and Yamaha from GMT 94.
From the outset, the lap times are extremely fast and the S 1000 RR of the BMW France team n ° 99 slams the fastest lap in 1’41.177: it starts strong !
The race update at 5:00 p.m.
After two hours of racing, the Top 5 froze in the following order: SERT leads ahead of Kawasaki SRC, BMW 99, YART and Bolliger Team. On the other hand, after an excellent first stint by David Checa, the GMT94 Yamaha dropped from 4th place following a crash by Kenny Foray in the Estoril corner. !
A first racing event which undermines the high expectations of Christophe Guyot’s team. Fortunately for the friendly tricolor structure, the pilot did not hurt himself in his fall and courageously brought the YZF-R1 n ° 94 to the pits after a stroller session of more than 20 minutes !
The GMT mechanics must now repair the damage in order to try to resume the race… A feat that they accomplished in record time, thus allowing Matthieu Lagrive to start the race again with nearly 25 laps behind the leaders.
First Superstock, the Suzuki of the AM Moto Racing Competition team appears in a flattering 10th place ahead of the Motors Events team AMT Assurances and Van Zon Boenig Motorsportschool.
The Junior Team LMS is in 14th place, just ahead of the Metiss JLC, the only machine entered in the Open category.
General classification of the Bol d’Or 2011 at 5:10 p.m.
