2006 Maxxis 12 Hours of Pont de Vaux, France

[Andy Lagzdins]

The JSL Suzuki Team takes third place overall honors. Julien Dorey, Piere Merle, and Laurent Solinski piloted the LTR450.

Second overall goes to the GYTR Team Yamaha UK squad led by Joe Maessen, and managed by past PDV Champion Richard Cole.

And the winners- the Belgian Team Piron! The team consisted of Guy Meertens and Alexandre and Stephane Piron. They are the first team to win the PDV on a four stroke. They rode their Yamaha YFZ450 for 11 hours and 56 minutes, doing 207 laps at an average of 59 kph. It appears that the four-strokes have taken over the event, as the only two-stroke to be a threat to win, the Duncan Banshee, will not be ridden in 2007. So begins the next generation of the Pont de Vaux 12 hours.
