After its fall at the Water Tower, the BMW n ° 99 had restarted in 52nd position at 5.15pm in the hands of Sebastien Gimbert after 25 minutes of immobilization. "Damian Cudlin lost the rear under acceleration and the bike fell badly, we changed a lot of parts but it should start again at least to ensure the show", then explained Nicolas Dussauge.

But unfortunately, Sebastien Gimbert stops after his first lap and brings the S1000RR back to the pits again … After assessing the damage, the decision is made to abandon.

"During the fall it rolled over but we believed in it, we set off again to go back up and we were ready to give everything with Erwan, but there is nothing to do, it becomes dangerous", explains Sebastien Gimbert: " I stopped because I was taking oil on the boot and the bike suffered a lot. I thank BMW, I am sorry for all the public and I will meet them at Le Mans ".
