Postponed due to terrible fires (read), the legendary Pikes Peak hill climb was held this weekend. Behind the two favorites is a French driver: Bruno Langlois, on Streetfighter !
A Multistrada from the Ducati Spider Grips team won yesterday for the third consecutive year in the premier motorcycle category – named "1205 cc" – on the occasion of the 90th edition of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The drivers Carlin Dunne and Greg Tracy also offer the double to their team.
The two Americans, for whom the 156 turns that make up this unique track no longer hold any secrets, even allow themselves to finish third and fourth in the general classification behind Rhys Millen’s Hyundai and Romain Dumas’ Porsche, smashing their previous record on a track now fully paved.
Descended below the 10 minutes mark (9 ‘52.819 exactly for Carlin), the 5m and 555 were simply unbeatable. In this, the third step of the podium of the big engines climbed by Bruno Langlois looks very much like a victory. !
The pilot indicated before his – second – departure for the United States to our colleagues from Corsica Matin to have "the impression of reaching the climax of my life, of doing the biggest thing in my modest biker career. . ", modestly sweeping away his French title in the 500cc side race (1985), that of 750cc track (1990) and his participation in the Bols d’Or and 24H du Mans !
Finally, the recent winner of the South Morvan rally (read) did not miss his ascent from "his" mount at the controls of his Streetfighter. The Frenchie rookie Langlois takes the 16th time in the scratch, the 5th for motorcycles, in 11 ‘05.342: "applausu" Bruno !
