The Suzuki Endurance Racing Team completes its recruitment for the 24 Heures Motos with a high-flying reserve driver. Grégory Leblanc, 5 times winner of the event, will be replacement driver alongside Vincent Philippe, Étienne Masson and Gregg Black next April.

Winner of the 24 Heures Motos from 2010 to 2013 and in 2016 but also of the Bol d'Or from 2012 to 2015, Grégory Leblanc is one of the best endurance specialists. Despite this eloquent track record, he has been without commitment since the end of his contract with Honda Endurance Racing last September. Finally he will be a replacement driver at the 24 Heures Motos but in one of the most prominent teams in the discipline, the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team.

« I know that I am a replacement and that, a priori, I should not ride, admits Grégory Leblanc, but I'm happy to stay in the circuit with a top official team and a very good bike. This is good news for me. This winter, my only prospect was to follow the 24 Hours at home. »

In the Suzuki clan, things are very clear too. Gregory joins the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team as a substitute but it is very interesting for the team to have a reserve driver of his caliber, a real 4e pilot, for a 24-hour race.

The trio of Suzuki Endurance Racing Team starters, Vincent Philippe, Étienne Masson and Gregg Black, and their luxury replacement, Grégory Leblanc, will be testing at Le Mans in early March.
