Why Raymond’s focus is on a longer EWC battle
Guillaume Raymond has already switched his focus to converting pole position in the Dunlop-equipped Superstock category into victory in the FIM Endurance World Cup section of the 24 Heures Motos.Along with Swiss brothers Sébastien and Valentin Suchet, Frenchman Raymond helped National Motos Honda to top spot in Superstock qualifying ahead of Tecmas-MRP-BMW Racing Team and Chromeburner-RAC41-Honda. Team 18 Sapeurs Pompers CMS Motostore and Wójcik Racing Team STK were fourth and fifth fastest respectively. “It’s a satisfaction for the team,” South Korea-born Raymond said. “We have three riders with the same pace so it’s good, but the pole position is only a little part, for us the race is more important although for sure it’s a little satisfaction. Every year the Superstock class is faster and the gap is very small so our goal is to do no mistake and make the laps. It would be great for us to win after the disappointment of not winning the Bol d’Or [last September after we retired from the lead in the final 20 minutes].”

Rea returns to racing one year after emotional EWC 24 Heures Motos parade lap
Gino Rea received a guard of honour from his fellow FIM Endurance World Championship riders before going on to complete a highly emotional parade lap when he returned to Le Mans last season for the 46th edition of the great race.The previous August, Rea suffered serious head injuries in a crash during practice fo the 43rd Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Race, making his comeback on track all the more remarkable. The fact he’ll now be racing again, as part of Wójcik Racing Team’s Superstock outfit, is testament to the British rider’s refusal to give up during an arduous recovery.“I’m extremely excited to be back under the wings of Wójcik Racing Team,” said the 34-year-old FIM Endurance World Cup contender. “It was in the colours of this team that I started my career in EWC. I’m excited to be racing together again while the team witches to Honda bikes. It's been a crazy year of intense rehab, but I will do my best to help the team develop the bike using my experience.”Rea will be partnered by Kevin Manfredi, Sheridan Morais and his fellow Briton and long-time friend Danny Webb on Wójcik’s 777 Dunlop-equipped Honda.
