Suzuki - Sert fights back from crash as Suzuki GSX-R1000 podiums

Team Suzuki Press Office – June 10. 

SERT – EWC Class – 10th 
Junior Team LMS – SST Class – 2nd 
No limits Suzuki – SST Class – 4th 


Suzuki #endurance #racing Team fought back from a heavy crash to take 10th place at the Oschersleben 8 Hour #enduranceworldchampionship fourth round in #germany as Junior Team LMS Suzuki raced to second in the Superstock FIM World Cup. 

The 15 times champions were in a dominant position aboard their #2 GSX-R1000 in the early stages: Gregg Black started by leading the race and pushed hard until the end of his stint, but when then the team’s most decorated and longest-serving rider #vincentphilippe made a mistake and crashed heavily. Despite the work of the technical team to repair the SERT bike quickly, they went back out on track in 31st position and almost nine laps behind the leaders. 

Philippe, Etienne Masson and Black dug deep and put in some consistently fast laps as they fought through the pack, regularly scoring some of the best lap-times of the race, taking 10th at the chequered flag.
