Three Yamaha on SERT’s heels…

SERT Suzuki n ° 1 and 2 lead the way, but three Yamaha R1s are on their heels: GMT n ° 94 and Austria Racing Team n ° 7 pull each other with 5 laps behind the leader, followed by R1 # 3 from Phase One Endurance one lap behind… Atmosphere !

After the fall of the Kawasaki n ° 11 of Team Kawasaki France, the Suzuki n ° 1 and 2 of the SERT lead the dance … But three Yamaha R1 are on their heels: the n ° 94 of the GMT and the n ° 7 of ‘Austria Racing Team pulled back 5 laps behind the leader, followed by the # 3 Phase One Endurance R1 one lap behind.

Three laps later, in the chapter "Fantastic recovery", we find the Honda CBR 1000 n ° 60 of the Team Motorcycle Review whipped by Sebastien Charpentier and Jean-Michel Bayle returned to 6th place !

But the night also brought its share of complications: the Suzuki n ° 72 of the Junior Team Le Mans Sud found itself in 18th position, 16 laps from the lead machine..

At 1:22 am, fall of the Kawasaki n ° 39 of Atomic Moto Sport, then of the Yamaha n ° 37 of Dafy Moto Cognage Endurance at 1:29.

A few minutes later, at 1:37 am, it was Fabrice Auger’s turn on the handlebars of the Suzuki # 110 from AM Moto Racing Competition to crash at the start of the pit straight: Fabrice remained in place and got up, but the motorbike slides for about 40 meters, threatening to catch fire during its slide.

The rider, unharmed, recovers his motorcycle and begins a stroller session to bring the motorcycle back to the pit in the hope of finishing the race … but the team will give up at 3.15am.

Approaching halfway, according to the times achieved by the Yamaha n ° 94 in 3rd position of the two Suzuki of the SERT, one can easily imagine that GMT catches up before 3:00 pm the 3 laps which separate it from the machine n ° 2. On the other hand, it will be difficult to beat the n ° 1, leader with 7 laps in advance, on a regular basis … Even if in Endurance, anything can always happen. !

The rain returned at 2:30 am after a slight lull … And still at the entrance to the straight line of the pits, Pierre Pesselier suffered a spectacular fall on the handlebars of the No. 66 Suzuki of Alpes Endurance. The pilot gets up unscathed, the safety car intervenes the time to clean the track, but the team must give up.

New fall of Suzuki n ° 110 this time in the hands of Pierre Guersillon, without gravity.

See you later for a new point at daybreak !
