Kevin Calia reckons Team 33 Louit April Moto’s Dunlop Superstock Trophy victory in the Bol d’Or last weekend made up for some of the tough times the squad has experienced in recent races.

Calia was speaking shortly after he and team-mates Christian Gamarino and Simone Saltarelli claimed victory aboard the #33 Kawasaki at Circuit Paul Ricard.

“We knew the race pace would be good for the podium,” said Calia. “Christian make very strong work on the end of race and a big shout out to him because he done a very fast stint after 23 hours of the race. We lost victory for a stupid crash at Spa last season but today the luck came for us and we deserve it because it’s a long time that we were fighting for the win. All the team deserved it and also Christian who was waiting for this kind of result since many times.” 

Following Chromeburner-RAC41-Honda’s post-race exclusion for a technical infringement, Team 33 Louit April Moto also takes the FIM Endurance World Cup for the 2023 season with more details to be published at FIMEWC.com soon.
