A first Aprilia-powered FIM Endurance World Cup category win was also the first for Aviobike by M2 Revo, which relied on San Marino’s Luca Bernardi and Italian Kevin Calia to ride as a pair in June's 8 Hours of Spa Motos after Francesco Cocco was unable to start.
The Italian Superstock team headed National Motos Honda FMA (below) and Team 33 Louit April Moto after an exciting battle for honours in the Dunlop-supplied FIM Endurance World Cup.
Calia said: “Winning the race is always good. Last year we win the Bol d’Or with Team 33. At the end of the year I believed a lot in the Aprilia project and it start well. In Le Mans we were close to the podium but at the end of the race we did some mistake and were unlucky. Unlucky is part of endurance but sometimes you need to be lucky to gain the result. I’m disappointed Francesco couldn’t ride and I hope he gets well soon. We went with a strong strategy, Luca and me both did double stints. The race was so close with the #55, they were so fast during the race and also in the box. So a big shoutout for them. But we are very happy with this victory for all the team.”
