F.C.C. TSR Honda France clinched victory in the 8 Hours of Spa Motos, as Corentin Perolari and Alan Techer triumphed in a rain-affected race at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, June 5-7.
YART Yamaha had been in control early, despite a fall from Marvin Fritz, and looked set for a second straight Spa win. However, a crash for Jason O’Halloran with 90 minutes left cost the team nearly four minutes in the pits. F.C.C. TSR Honda had already been strong in the dry opening phases, with Perolari and Techer consistently at the front.
Heavy rain after 3 p.m. created some unexpected chaos. O’Halloran briefly reclaimed the lead after serving a 10-second penalty for a refueling violation, but another crash 15 minutes later left YART’s number-seven bike badly damaged. The number-five Honda took the lead and held it to the flag at 8:30 p.m.
“For us, it’s just unbelievable,” said Techer. “For two years, we have proved we are faster, but every time we have some troubles. This winter we changed a lot of things in the team, many new people. In Le Mans, we had some bad luck. We knew in this race we had good pace in the dry conditions, but in the wet conditions, we were a little more struggling than the other teams. But the mistake from YART provided a big result for us.”
BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team took second, with a recovering YART Yamaha in third. Yoshimura SERT Motul Suzuki and Kawasaki Webike Trickstar completed the top five. Tati Team Beringer Racing placed seventh.
In Superstock, Champion-MRP-Tecmas BMW claimed the class win, while Team SuperMoto Racing Yamaha secured back-to-back Production class victories. CN
