Motorsport of the Month: Bol d'Or


It's awefully hard to write about motorcycles in the winter months. Especially living on a mountain where I can snowboard for free. But I just can't let my site down, so here's a breif (and late) Motorsport of the Month for January.

The Bol d'Or is a very old and famous motorcycle endurance race held in France. The event first started in 1922, and the race has taken place in various places in France. Since 2000 Magny Cours has been home to the Bol d'Or. The race lasts 24 hours and teams consist of three riders whom switch off. SBK (Super Bike) bikes are the premier class that races.


Honda offers a Bol d'Or version of their CB1300.
