RPM Poli gagne les 24 heures du Mans

Two victories for CadoMotus in LeMans, the famous 24h race in France. RPM Poli took the win in the mens race, Sarthe.Loops in the girls!



Team leader Mathieu Boher formed himself a team with champions only. Former World Champion Franck Cardin interrupted his retirement to race the biggest skating event in France. Also Pascal Briand joined the team. Most of the athletes raced on the new MPC Road War wheel and hardly burned it on the hot asphalt in 24 hours time.

"We had a beautiful team for this event. The level was very high and we had a good team spirit. We are very happy", says Mathieu Boher. "We setup a good tactic. We wanted to lap our direct competitor as soon as possible. We started attacking at 3.00 am, but only took a few seconds every lap, which made it very hard. With the race settling down after finally taking the lap, we relayed only every 2 laps."

The teams raced on the MPC Road War. "It was my wheel of choice for this event. Not only did they have a great roll, but also we didn't have to change wheels during the complete 24 hours, which in all the times I competed, I have never experienced."
