<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonjour \u00e0 tous, quelle semaine !! couronn\u00e9e d\u2019une 12\u00e8me<\/sup> place au classement g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et la 5\u00e8me de la cat\u00e9gorie Superstock.<\/strong> On a \u00e9norm\u00e9ment gal\u00e9r\u00e9 sur la journ\u00e9e d\u2019essais libres du mercredi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On part avec le mulet le matin et au bout de quelques tours en freinant, les pistons des \u00e9triers restent bloqu\u00e9s entra\u00eenant une chute. Malheureusement on casse le moteur. Nous utiliserons la moto d\u2019entrainement de David Shoubridge pour l\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi et pour les qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durant cette journ\u00e9e, sur la moto de course, nous rodons des disques de freins pendant 2 runs (tout se passe bien), et lors du 3\u00e8me<\/sup> run malheureusement nous aurons des probl\u00e8mes de coupures moteur jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la fin de la journ\u00e9e. Cinq minutes avant la fin de celle-ci, nous faisons partir Tom Ward pour un tour de lancement et un tour chrono, pour se rassurer sur la moto qui fera les qualifications, et \u2026 2\u201926. On est tranquillis\u00e9 pour le vendredi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion du mercredi, une moto en moins, le ch\u00e2ssis de la moto de course non r\u00e9gl\u00e9. Heureusement la base du Mans \u00e9tait bonne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vendredi,  qualifications avec la moto de David et validation de la moto de course lors des essais de nuit. Les qualifications se passent bien, Tom Ward fera un 2\u201924 (record pour un GSXR), David Shoubridge, Tom Oliver et notre pilote de r\u00e9serve roulent en 2\u201927.  Avec les gal\u00e8res du mercredi et le manque de roulage, le potentiel est bien l\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour les essais de nuit, Gian Mertens d\u00e9bute la session mais un probl\u00e8me technique l\u2019immobilise dans la descente apr\u00e8s la longue ligne droite. La difficult\u00e9 c\u2019est que sans le transpondeur nous ne pouvons pas partir avec le mulet pour valider les 3 tours obligatoires. Apr\u00e8s une attente de plus d\u2019une demi-heure nous r\u00e9cup\u00e9rons la moto, mettons le transpondeur sur le mulet et nous ferons deux runs, le temps de r\u00e9soudre le probl\u00e8me sur la moto de course. Seulement il ne reste que 30 minutes, dans l\u2019ordre Gian, David, Tom W et Tom O font entre 2 et 4 tours et confirme que la moto est top : ch\u00e2ssis, \u00e9lectronique tout est ok. Le sourire des pilotes fait plaisir \u00e0 voir (surtout pour moi !!!), la moto est pr\u00eate pour la course. Excellent boulot des m\u00e9canos qui n\u2019ont pas ch\u00f4m\u00e9s et Charles Cordier de Moteur Sport France qui a r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 adapter les r\u00e9glages pour Spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour la course, d\u00e9part de Tom Ward de la 26\u00e8me place. Il remonte doucement \u00e0 la 23\u00e8me place. Les pilotes assurent une remont\u00e9e \u00e0 la 17\u00e8me place apr\u00e8s 3 heures de course avec des relais r\u00e9guliers. Durant la nuit, des probl\u00e8mes de filtre \u00e0 huile d\u2019autres concurrents occasionnent des chutes, David perdra l\u2019avant et aura la chance de relever la moto pour ensuite traverser le bac \u00e0 gravier. Il s\u2019en sortira avec une grosse frayeur, derri\u00e8re lui une moto n\u2019a pu \u00e9viter la chute en partant en tonneaux \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les 3 pilotes s\u2019entendent \u00e0 merveille pour assurer des relais solides, et toute l\u2019\u00e9quipe assurent des interventions au stand rapides. Les derniers sont toujours raides, mais nous finirons \u00e0 3 tours du 4\u00e8me. Quelle joie pour tous de passer cette ligne d\u2019arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 la 5\u00e8me place des Superstock et la 12 du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. Cela faisait longtemps que nous n\u2019avions plus fait de top 5 !!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alors merci aux pilotes : Tom Ward, David Shoubridge, Tom Oliver et Gian Mertens. Ils ont roul\u00e9 tr\u00e8s vite sur une moto qui n\u2019est pas la plus puissante, mais qui \u00e0 d\u2019autres qualit\u00e9s dont la fiabilit\u00e9 (10 courses d\u2019affil\u00e9e de termin\u00e9es) Et surtout merci \u00e0 toute l\u2019\u00e9quipe qui a travaill\u00e9e en amont. C\u2019est une belle r\u00e9compense pour tout le travail effectu\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous n\u2019avons rien l\u00e2ch\u00e9 malgr\u00e9 les difficult\u00e9s des jours pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents et avec ce r\u00e9sultat nous ne retiendrons que le positif. Nos pilotes visent le podium, nous nous en approchons de plus en plus\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pourquoi pas au Bol d\u2019Or !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous avons tous la motivation, et les capacit\u00e9s pour y arriver mais l\u2019aspect budget est toujours compliqu\u00e9, si de nouveaux partenaires souhaitent vivre notre aventure contactez-nous en msg priv\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous vous donnons rendez-vous pour la derni\u00e8re course de la saison les 16 et 17 septembre prochain pour le Bol d\u2019Or sur le circuit du Castellet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un grand merci \u00e0 tous nos partenaires qui nous soutiennent pour 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a week!! crowned by 12th place overall and 5th in the Superstock class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We really struggled during free practice on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started off with the mule in the morning and after a few laps when braking, the pistons in the callipers got stuck, causing us to crash. Unfortunately we broke the engine. We used David Shoubridge’s training bike for the afternoon and for qualifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the day, on the race bike, we ran in the brake discs for 2 runs (all went well), and on the 3rd run unfortunately we had engine cut-out problems for the rest of the day. Five minutes before the end of the day, we sent Tom Ward out for a launch lap and a timed lap, to reassure himself about the bike that would be used for qualifying, and … 2’26. That put our minds at rest for Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday’s conclusion, one bike less, the chassis of the race bike not adjusted. Fortunately, the Le Mans base was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, qualifying with David’s bike and validation of the race bike during night practice. Qualifying went well, with Tom Ward doing a 2’24 (record for a GSXR), David Shoubridge, Tom Oliver and our reserve rider doing 2’27.  With the problems of Wednesday and the lack of riding, the potential is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the night test, Gian Mertens started the session but a technical problem stopped him on the descent after the long straight. The difficulty was that without the transponder we couldn’t start with the mule to validate the 3 compulsory laps. After a wait of more than half an hour, we get the bike back, put the transponder on the mule and do two runs, the time it takes to solve the problem on the race bike. With only 30 minutes to go, Gian, David, Tom W and Tom O did between 2 and 4 laps in order and confirmed that the bike was top notch: chassis, electronics, everything was fine. The smiles on the faces of the riders were a pleasure to see (especially for me!!!), and the bike was ready for the race. Excellent work by the mechanics, who were hard at work, and Charles Cordier of Moteur Sport France, who managed to adapt the settings for Spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Ward started the race from 26th place. He slowly climbed back up to 23rd place. The drivers climbed back up to 17th place after 3 hours of racing with regular stints. During the night, problems with the oil filters of other competitors led to crashes. David lost the front end and was lucky enough to get the bike up and across the gravel trap. He escaped with a big scare, as a motorbike behind him was unable to avoid the crash by rolling over…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 3 drivers got on wonderfully well to ensure solid stints, and the whole team made quick pit stops. The last few laps were always steep, but we finished 3 laps behind the 4th. We were all delighted to cross the finish line in 5th place in the Superstock class and 12th overall. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a top 5 finish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So thank you to the riders : Tom Ward, David Shoubridge, Tom Oliver and Gian Mertens. They rode very fast on a bike that isn’t the most powerful, but which has other qualities including reliability (10 races in a row completed). And above all, thanks to the whole team who worked so hard beforehand. It’s a great reward for all the hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn’t give up despite the difficulties of the previous days, and with this result we’ll only be remembering the positive. Our drivers are aiming for the podium, and we’re getting closer and closer…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not at the Bol d’Or?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have the motivation and the ability to get there, but the budget aspect is always complicated. If any new partners would like to join us in our adventure, please contact us by private message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to seeing you at the last race of the season on 16 and 17 September for the Bol d’Or on the Le Castellet circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to all our partners who are supporting us for 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
