LE MANS – La Kawasaki del team GSR ha vinto la 24 ore di Le Mans, gara valida come prima prova del Campionato Mondiale Endurance. La ZX-10R, guidata da Da Costa, Four e Leblanc, si è imposta sul team campione del mondo Yamaha Austria (Jerman, Martin e Giabbani), a 11 giri, e sul team RAC41 (Junod, Black e Depoorter), che ha tagliato il traguardo con 15 giri di ritardo.

Sfortuna il team ex iridato SERT, costretto al ritiro dopo il pauroso botto che ha coinvolto Guillaume Dietrich, tamponato mentre stava rientrando in pista dopo un lungo, per la squadra ufficiale BMW, che ha accusato problemi di gioventù di una comunque velocissima S 1000RR e al team ex iridato GMT 94.
