It’s go! EWC season-opening 24 Heures Motos underway

The 2023 FIM Endurance World Championship has got off to a thrilling start with two dramatic crashes within the first few hundred metres.

Dunlop Superstock Trophy category racer Kevin Manfredi dropped his Wójcik Racing Team Yamaha shortly after the running start before polesitter Gregg Black crashed heavily at the Dunlop Chicane during a battle for position with F.C.C. TSR Honda France’s Josh Hook.

Black’s Yoshimura SERT Motul-entered Suzuki was badly damaged in the crash but the UK-born French-based rider was able to return to the action following 18 laps lost in the pits while rapid repairs were made.

Hook initially led before Florian Alt moved in front on lap two for Honda Viltaïs Racing. YART Yamaha’s Marvin Fritz also enjoyed spells at the head of the pack during a fight for first place with his fellow German Alt.

With the 2023 FIM Endurance World Championship due to fire into life with the 46th running of the 24 Heures Motos on the Circuit Bugatti in Le Mans here’s an update on the last-minute rider line-up changes.

Christoffer Bergman, back in the EWC this season, gets the call to join Isaac Viñales and Mathieu Gines in Wójcik Racing Team’s Formula EWC attack. The Swede takes over from Sheridan Morais as the Polish squad’s Blue Rider while South Africa-born Morais continues to recover from a foot injury sustained in a crash at Daytona last month.

Linfoot in for Webb

Wójcik Racing Team has also altered its Superstock squad with Dan Linfoot replacing his fellow Briton Danny Webb, who was injured in the build-up to the event. Linfoot was part of the Wójcik line-up that finished second overall in last September’s Bol d’Or. Polish Superbike champion and EWC regular Marek Szkopek is named as the Wójcik reserve.

Plancassagne replaces Hartog

With Dutchman Rob Hartog injured in testing on Tuesday, Alex Plancassagne joins EWC rookie Luca Grünwald and Maxim Pellizotti in the Pit Lane Endurance - JP3 attack.
