Lucot: Team’s EWC heroics deserved more reward at Le Mans
Viltaïs Racing Igol’s Yannick Lucot said the worst thing about his squad’s retirement from a seemingly certain top-five finish in the 24 Heures Motos was the sense of disappointment shared by the members of the frontrunning French outfit. A mechanical failure with six and a half hours of the FIM Endurance World Championship event remaining robbed Viltaïs Racing Igol of a fitting reward although the #333 Yamaha did register 13 FIM Endurance World Championship points after starting ninth on the grid. Ad/> Having run as high as third at one point despite an electrical issue during the night, hopes of a strong result evaporated when new-for-2022 recruit Erwan Nigon was forced to pit with an engine issue at 09h10 on Sunday.
