Difficult end of the rally for Severine Guglielmi and Geoffroy Guimont, victims of a crash on their Honda 900 CBR / DJ after an exemplary run since the start of the championship !

Double blow for Sonia Barbot and Laureen Maunier who won, on their Triumph 675 Daytona, both the Women and Duo categories.
