Team Suzuki Press Office – April 23.

SERT – #2 #gsxr1000 –24th
April Motos Events - #50 #gsxr1000 – 27th
Junior Team Le Mans Sud - #72 #gsxr1000 (SST) – 8th


Suzuki squads completed the demanding 41st 24 Heures Motos edition at Le Mans in France today.

SERT, the Suzuki #endurance #racing Team, maintained a podium position for much of the early part of the race, but technical problems dropped them back to 24th place at the chequered flag.
The top Suzuki team at the flag was the Junior Team Le Mans Sud, finishing in an excellent eighth place overall and third in the SST class.

In the early part of the famous 24-hour race, SERT climbed steadily up to second position on the still-evolving Suzuki #gsxr1000 race machine. The three riders; #vincentphilippe, #etiennemasson and #greggblack, pocketed an eight-point reward for maintaining that position at the 8-hour mark of the race.

The SERT squad maintained the pressure until the middle part of the race, but then suffered some technical issues that required the Suzuki #2 to repeatedly come into the pits for further adjustments. Despite the efforts of the SERT technical staff to solve the problem, the team had fallen to 35th position at the 12-hour mark.

Fifteen-time World Champions SERT, led by long-term Manager, Dominique Meliand, re-grouped and refocussed and steadily climbed back up through the field to 24th place at the flag.

Dominique Méliand said: "We have not been spared during this difficult race. But we must remind ourselves that this was only our second race on the new #gsxr1000 and we are still learning and improving and fine-tuning the overall package.
