In treacherous conditions, Team Hero EBR notched up another race finish with Geoff May finishing inside the top twenty at Magny-Cours in France last Sunday.

Geoff, who tipped off his 1190RX machine in the equally wet warm up session, started the races in Pit Lane because of an engine penalty but was soon circulating inside the top 20. He finished 18th in race one but retired along with his team mate Aaron Yates in the latter encounter. Aaron also retired in race one.

Both riders were satisfied with their progress during the weekend and are pleased with the steps forward made in the dry with their set-up.

The final races of the season will take place at the Losail circuit in Qatar for the first ever night races in World Superbike history and Team Hero EBR will be hoping to end their season on a high.

Giulio Bardi – Team Manager: “Despite the failure to finish of both riders in the second race the weekend hasn’t been so bad and there have been some improvements that we can see when we look at the data. For Geoff it was always going to be difficult starting from the pit-lane but he dug deep and we applaud his efforts. Both riders said they felt something with their machines in race two so we took the decision to stop. We will keep working hard and are looking forward to racing in the dark in Qatar.”
