With just two hours left in the 89th Bol d'Or, the #37 BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team is closing in on both race victory and the 2026 FIM EWC World Championship title. The tension at Circuit Paul Ricard is palpable, especially after the drama that struck Honda.
John McPhee crashed at 11:30 a.m., shattering the podium hopes of F.C.C. TSR Honda France. An 11-minute pit stop for repairs dropped the #5 Honda to fourth position. YART Yamaha capitalized on the mistake, inheriting third place.
However, holding P3 is not enough for YART to defend their crown. In the virtual standings, the #37 BMW holds a four-point advantage over Suzuki, meaning the world title is within their grasp if they can maintain position until the finish.
Further back, Webike Trickstar Kawasaki #11 suffered a pit stop delay and rejoined in ninth. Worse luck hit Team Elf KM99 Yamaha #99, whose engine failure left mechanics scrambling in the garage as their hopes evaporated.
ERC Endurance BMW #6 became the latest casualty, forced to retire with under three hours remaining. Endurance racing is indeed cruel, and such drama always adds spice to the Bol d'Or.
With two thrilling hours left, the big question: can BMW #37 maintain consistency and seal the title? Or will YART and Suzuki spring a surprise in the closing minutes? All eyes are on Paul Ricard.
