The SRC Kawasaki team will start from pole position on the Bol d’Or 2013, ahead of the Suzuki n ° 1 of SERT and the Yamaha n ° 94 of GMT 94.

Riding the n ° 11 ZX10-R, Gregory Leblanc, Loris Baz and Jeremy Guarnoni once again set the best time in the second qualifying session, with a little less than half a second ahead of the champion Suzuki. of the world in title.

The green bomb is ahead of the official Suzuki of Vincent Philippe (who dropped below the 1’40 mark), Anthony Delhalle and Julien Da Costa and the Yamaha France GMT 94 Michelin Yamalube, third.

On the R1 n ° 94, David Checa improved his best time by half a second this morning and Matthieu Lagrive, hampered by the traffic on the track yesterday, gained more than a second.

BMW Motorrad France Team Thevent’s S1000RR n ° 99 finished fourth on the starting grid, despite a fine performance by Sebastien Gimbert this morning at the very end of his qualifying session. "Last year our race was very short, because of one", remembers Sebastien Gimbert: "this year we cannot afford to start over, because with that it would be impossible to come back. But we have to do the maximum this weekend, because for the same reason we must take the maximum points from the Bol d’Or. We have a good team, a competitive bike and we know that Michelin has a tire for all conditions at Magny – Course, where the weather can be quite unpredictable so early in the year. A victory this weekend would be the perfect start to the season and we will fight for that, keeping in mind that the points in the championship are also important to our title goal ".

Finally, the Junior Team Suzuki LMS riders – Baptiste Guittet, Etienne Masson and Nans Chevaux – all improved their best times this morning. They beat the Honda National Motos, delayed by a crash, and take a deserved fifth place on the grid.

The Junior Team Suzuki LMS is positioned as the best Superstock team, closely followed by the Kawasaki of Team Louit Motos 33 which climbed from twelfth place in practice yesterday to seventh position on the starting grid.

Another Superstock, the Suzuki AM Moto Racing Competition, is behind them and ahead of the Monster Energy Yamaha YART. The official Austrian team – like the English team Honda TT Legends – still seem to be in search of performance with new crew compositions.

After the warm-up scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m., the start of this 77th Bol d’Or will be given at 3 p.m. for two laps of the clock.
