Twenty-two Dunlop-equipped teams will chase FIM Endurance World Cup success when Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps hosts the second round of the all-action Superstock-based series from 6-7 June.
Taking place on the iconic 6.985-kilometre Belgian rollercoaster ride, the 8 Hours of Spa Motos promises plenty of unmissable moments with the race broadcast live across the globe.
Having formed part of the Aprilia-powered Team Aviobike by M2 Revo alliance that won Superstock section of the 8 Hours of Spa Motos in 2024, Kevin Calia is bidding for a repeat victory with the Revo-M2 team and its Dunlop-equipped Aprilia RSV4.
But the Italian outfit faces strong opposition from a host of rival teams, including 2024 FIM Endurance World Cup title-winning National Motos Honda FMA, second in Superstock at Spa last season, Aviobike WRS, Dafy-RAC 41-Honda, 3ART Best of Bike, 2024 Spa Superstock pole-sitting Team Étoile, Team 33 Louit April Motos, Team 18 Pompiers Igol CMS Motostore, returning outfits Champion-MRP-Tecmas and Wójcik Racing Team.

EWC SUPERSTOCK RIDERS SAID WHAT
Quotes from a selection of EWC riders follow:
Kevin Calia (Revo-M2): “Last year we won the race in Superstock and I think this year we can fight again for the win because we have a good bike and my team-mates are so fast, so the target is to battle for the race win.”
Luca De Vleeschauwer (Pitlane Endurance): “It’s my home race and it’s always nice to have that and always fun to be there. There is always a massive group of my friends there and people close to me. I’m excited because I’m really going to try to make a statement there.”
David Drieghe (Infiniteam FLAM Racing): “I got a message with the question if I would like to ride in the 8 Hours of Spa Motos – I only needed a few seconds to decide.”
Leandro Mercado (Champion-MRP-Tecmas): “I’m really happy to be back in EWC. Spa is a beautiful track and I really enjoy to ride there. For me it will be the first experience in Superstock but I’m really looking forward to race with BMW and the team and to make a good job. Racing a BMW in IDM means I have almost the same bike and for sure this will help. The only thing that will be new for me are the Dunlop tyres, so we have to do a really good day of practice to adapt and be ready.”
