There was Dunlop Superstock Trophy delight for Chromeburner-RAC41-Honda but despair for National Motos Honda, which lost the Bol d’Or category win and the FIM Endurance World Cup for Teams in the final hour after a technical fault struck. 

Swiss brothers Sébastien and Valentin Suchet, plus Frenchman Guillaume Raymond were on course for double delight at Circuit Paul Ricard but their late heartache let in Kawasaki-powered Team 33 Louit April Moto for the race victory and Chromeburner-RAC41-Honda for the Superstock title.

Team 18 Sapeurs Pompiers CMS Motostore took third behind Chromeburner-RAC41-Honda with Pitlane Endurance - JP3 fourth, BMRT 3D Maxxess Nevers fifth and Wójcik Racing Team sixth followed by 3ART Best of Bike. OG Motorsport World Endurance Team was in third but slipped back as TRT27 Bazar 2 La Bécane also showed strong early form.

Having started the Bol d’Or in contention for Dunlop Superstock Trophy honours, Honda No Limits and Tecmas-MRP-BMW Racing Team dropped out in the opening stages. The former was eliminated in a collision, while Kenny Foray had covered a little more than 30 minutes when engine failure forced the #9 into retirement. ADSS 97, Falcon Racing and Slider Endurance were also unable to go the distance.
