Have you heard of the Bol d'Or in your country?

I'm wondering if it's very popular outside France where it's one of the rare bike races the media talk about.

Well this year race was won by GMT94.

Before the race they said that if they'd achieve to finally win this race they could move their WSS team to Superbikes with Checa (Carlos' brother and Gimbert).

yep heard of it. speed on ocassion have aired the 24hrs of lemans & the bol'dor. endurace bike racing is not that popular here yet. we have a series here called the sprint st series which is a bike racing endurance series but as far as i know it gets no tv coverage.
 
Yes the bold door was on eurosport at the weekend. I watched a bit but didn't have time to watch much...

Actually WERA runs an endurance series which I love. Mostly 6 hour races. Could place to find young riders. Josh Herrin did a few last year.

On the winning team. Is the Checa guy related to Carlos?

That's cool. I always liked Carlos, and never knew who he hada brother.
 
I watched just a little on eurosport, and in that short period saw few really weird and really bad crashes

Is there any explanations for that "flying wheels and stuff" crash??
