Leon Haslam will go from scoring an FIM Endurance World Championship podium to competing in a 24-hour race for the first time when he contests the 100th-anniversary Bol d’Or next week (15-18 September).

Along with Alex Lowes and Jonathan Rea, Haslam formed part of the Kawasaki Racing Team that finished second in last month’s 43rd Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Race.

But while the 39-year-old will continue with Kawasaki power for the EWC season decider at Circuit Paul Ricard, he will switch to the French privateer TATI Team Beringer Racing squad instead, replacing Alan Techer, who is deputising for the injured Gino Rea at F.C.C.

TSR Honda France. Ad A rider with experience at Grand Prix and Superbike World Championship level, Briton Haslam can count on two strong team-mates for support during his Bol d’Or debut in Belgian Bastien Mackels, who has returned from injury after missing the 24H SPA EWC Motos in June, and Gregory Leblanc, who has four Bol d’Or victories to his name.
