EWC 24 Heures Motos 2021: Suzuki leads by 30 seconds before dark…

The afternoon is preparing to give way to the evening on the Bugatti circuit of Le Mans, and the situation of the 24 Heures Motos is generally stabilized.

After a duel between the Suzuki #1 and the Yamaha #7 which resulted in some great battles between the two machines during the first hours of the race, the Yoshimura SERT Motul managed to build a lead of around thirty seconds on the YART – Yamaha.

 

 

Behind, the #5 Honda didn't give up and even slightly reduced its gap at the hands of Mike Di Meglio. But with a handicap of three and a half laps, this does not seem sufficient to hope for victory without incident for the two leaders.

 

 

Long in fourth position, the Yamaha #96 Moto Ain had to retire due to mechanical problems, while conversely the Kawasaki #11, at one time plagued by brake problems, got back to the edge of the podium.

 

 

Abandonment also for Yamaha #18, one of the favorites in a Superstock category currently led by National Moto.

 

 

A third of the race has been completed, when the light will soon fade and the competitors will plunge into night...
