TSR Honda France out of the podium places, it wasn’t long before third position was reclaimed. Speaking afterwards, French rider Di Meglio said: “It's a good result for the championship because there are a lot of points to grab over the three 24-hour races. Of course, there is a little disappointment because I think that the victory was within our reach.

We showed what we were capable of. The bike is competitive; my team-mates and the team did a great job during the refuelling. I can't wait for the next race to take our revenge.” Australian rider Hook added: “It was a tough race.

The Yamaha and the Suzuki had an extremely fast pace. We probably also had the pace to win, but some problems put us a bit behind. Nevertheless, we can be satisfied with this result because we took valuable points for the championship.” Ahead of the 24H SPA EWC Motos, F.C.C.
