Race resume

Injured during training, Evann Plaindoux is forced to give up his place for the French round of the FIM WorldSBK Championship in the WorldSBP class. The wildcard awarded as part of the Yamaha 700 Challenge therefore goes to Amaury Mizera.

Leader of the Yamaha 700 Challenge in FSBK, Evann Plaindoux secured, following the round at Le Vigeant (86), the wildcard offered by the French Motorcycling Federation (FFM), Yamaha Motor France and GMT94. This was due to allow him to take part in the French round of WorldSBK, held at the Nevers Magny-Cours circuit (58) on September 4, 5 and 6.

The #92 rider is therefore unfortunately forced to give up this opportunity.

Arthur Massy, Plaindoux’s runner-up in the provisional Yamaha 700 Challenge standings, but unavailable to attend the official tests organised by GMT94, must also give up the wildcard.

In accordance with the sporting criteria and the conditions for participation in the programme, the valuable wildcard therefore goes to Amaury Mizera, who will take over for the French round of the World Championship.

The objective remains the same for the FFM, Yamaha, Pirelli and GMT94: to promote the French Superbike Championship and offer young French talents a genuine pathway to international competition.

A structured sporting project that allows a rider to take another step forward in their career each year.
