This season’s third Superstock team, National Motos Honda, were the favourites after a win at the 24 Heures Motos and a second-place finish at the 12 Hours of Estoril.

Thanks to their consistency, the French team on Yamaha finished fourth by scoring important points in each race. 

Team 18 Sapeurs-Pompiers CMS Motostore wre hoping for better than fifth place this season. The French team on their red Yamaha were among the favourites, but the season got off to a rocky start at Le Mans. The Yamaha 18 was involved in a collision of several bikes on the first lap.
