Le Mans 24 Hours for Motorcycles - April 17 - 18, 2010

In keeping with tradition, the 33rd Le Mans 24 Hours for Motorcycles will be the first round of the FIM Endurance World Championship consisting of five races in 2010.

Honda France, which made its return to endurance last year, is out to take its revenge on Yamaha, which can again count on one of the winners of the 2009 World Championship, Gwen Giabbani who has resigned with YART (Yamaha Austria Racing Team). But Suzuki with SERT, winner in 2008, and the Team 18 Sapeurs Pompiers, runner-up in 2009, and Kawasaki don’t see things that way. Completing the programme will be the first round of the 2010 Superside World Championship, and the International Classic Grand Prix (2-stroke motorbikes from the 70s/80s) plus a free concert on Saturday evening on the Bugatti circuit.

Bike Tour Germany is planning to attend these 2010 European events:

April 15 to 19 --  24h Motorcycle Race in Le Mans, France

May 27 to 30 --    Alpen Biker Days in Zell am See, Austria

At the moment, Joerg is about to hop a plane to attend the 2010 Daytona Bike Week. It will be a pleasant break from winter in Germany and a chance to ride bikes with friends from California and other parts of the USA. The Daytona Bike Week rally draws 300, 000 to 500,000 rally enthusiasts from all over the world.
