Part of the F.C.C. TSR Honda France line-up that won the FIM Endurance World Championship for Teams in 2022, Mike di Meglio, 35, is revving up to defend the crown in 2023 alongside team-mates Josh Hook and Alan Techer. This is what the French rider has had to say.

8 hours into the race on the Paul Ricard circuit, Yoshimura SERT Motul are still in the lead ahead of YART–Yamaha Official EWC Team and ERC Endurance-Ducati. BMRT 3D Maxxess Nevers, the fastest Superstock, are in 6th place.
