Le Touquet at full thrust

Motul
14 September

Each year since 1975, except 1991 owing to the Gulf war, hundreds of courageous and fearless enthusiasts rush to the riding hell on sand at the Touquet Enduropale. The main 3 hour race attracts more than 1000 contenders in its main race, without counting the Juniors, Espoirs, Vintage and the 368 contending in Quaduro. At the end of this 42nd staging on 4 and 5 February, two teams partnered technically by Motul shone particularly with a podium on two wheels and a win on four!

 

Team Honda SR moved closer to Motul at the beginning of this year. This association has already produced initial results with Richard Fura's third place already in the first participation in Le Touquet of the structure managed by Josse Sallefranque. Despite an average start, a few falls and a slight shoulder injury, Richard fought like the devil on his new Honda CRF450R to bag his first podium on the Touquet sand. His team-mate, Xavier Boog, in contrast, had to quit as his machine collided and was damaged by the impact.

 

Jérémie Warnia is the undisputed specialist of Quad in all its diversity, from Cross to
