After an intensive schedule of pre-season testing, the #honda #endurance #racing team is well prepared and looking forward to face the opening round of the 2016 #endurance World Championship, which takes place this weekend (9-10 April) with the 24 Heures Motos at Le Mans in France.
Endurance specialists Freddy Foray, Julien da Costa and Sébastien Gimbert are back with the #honda squad for a third consecutive year, competing aboard the #honda #cbr1000rrfirebladesp. British rider Kyle Smith will join the team at Le Mans as reserve rider.
All three riders are looking forward getting back on board the CBR in a competitive setting and seeing the hard work the team has put in over the winter in practice. Undoubtedly the goal for the season is to secure the 2016 EWC title, but for now the entire focus is the formidable task of the first 24-hour battle and the target of overall victory.
The 24 Heures Motos begins at 1500 CEST on Saturday 9 April. For more information and updates on the team throughout the 24 Heures Motos, follow @HondaRacingCBR
