Team Suzuki Press Office – September 19.
Yoshimura SERT Motul continue to lead the Bol d’Or 24 Hours race in France despite having a small slip-off early this morning when rain fell on the Paul Ricard Circuit.
With just under five hours remaining – and after a quick extra pitstop when Xavier Simeon fell during the night session aboard the GSX-R1000R – the team has extended its provisional lead in the series with 25 bonus points for setting pole position and leading at the eight and 16-hour marks.
Simeon and teammates Sylvain Guintoli and Gregg Black had completed 554 laps of the circuit at the end of 19 hours and are 15 laps ahead of second-placed Moto AIN Yamaha having taken a total of 22 pitstops.
