At four hours from the finish, everything remains possible for the victory between the Suzuki n ° 1 of the SERT which leads the Kawasaki n ° 11 by 8 small seconds, without forgetting the Yamaha n ° 94 of the GMT in third position with only three laps … stay connected !
Just before 9:00 a.m., due to the drops falling in certain parts of the circuit, Suzuki n ° 1 returned to the pit and left with a rain tire at the front and an intermediate at the rear … under the watchful eye of the informants of the Kawasaki n ° 11, who will have to make this difficult choice in a few minutes !
Will rain, not rain ?
The rain is indeed the main unknown of this early morning and Gilles Staefler finally chooses two intermediaries for Olivier Four, who sets off on the ZX-10R under the watchful eye of the representatives of Dunlop, Michelin and Pirelli gathered in the Greens stand !
Thanks to this refueling, Fabien Foret on the Suzuki n ° 1 of the SERT takes control of the race at 9:10 am, with 38 seconds ahead of Olivier Four on the handlebars of the SRC Kawasaki n ° 11.
Loris Baz the only driver below the 2’0 mark !
The track remains very slippery and the riders are running smoothly: just before 10:00 a.m., everyone turns in 2 minutes or more, with the notable exception of the impressive Loris Baz who continues to lead Louit Moto’s No.33 in 1’59 (17th scratch and 7th Superstock at the 18th hour of the race), before handing over to Nans Chevaux.
At 5 hours from the finish, on a track in still delicate conditions, Olivier Four on the SRC Kawasaki n ° 11 takes the lead of the race with 18 seconds ahead of the SERT Suzuki n ° 1 in the hands of Anthony Delhalle.
Good mastery of 3D Endurance
In Superstock, good performance of the Kawasaki n ° 24 of 3D Endurance led by Valentin Debise, Charles Geers and Fabrice Holub who dominates the category in 7th position scracth in front of the BMW n ° 13 Penz13 Kraftwerk Herpigny, the Suzuki n ° 67 Starteam and the Suzuki n ° 68 Atomic Motosport.
The BMW n ° 18 of the Sapeurs pompiers is also coming back to 11th place behind the four leading Superstocks.
Olivier Four whips the Kawasaki n ° 11 in the lead
At the head of the race on the n ° 11 Kawasaki, Olivier Four whips in 1’59.401 despite the rain and maintains the n ° 1 Suzuki with almost a lap. At 10:30 am he accelerated again in 1’58 and found himself the only driver on the track to ride under the 2 minute mark, before Anthony Delhalle on Suzuki n ° 1 gave him the answer in 1’59.
Honda # 77 TT Legends crashed
At 10:36 a.m. Vincent Houssin fell on the handlebars of the Suzuki n027 of City Bike at the exit of the pits, then a few minutes later a new fall at the exit of the 180.
At 10:45 am Cameron Donald loses the front end of Honda n ° 77 TT Legends under Adelaide braking, tank torn off, just in front of Kenny Foray on Yamaha n ° 94 which got very hot! A few seconds later, it is the Honda n ° 38 of TMS Racing which starts to fault in the straight line of the pits…
