Motorcycle: Enzo Boulom, the springboard for the Bol d'Or

Pour Enzo Boulom, le test a été concluant avec la BMW du team polonais LRP.

Le pilote gardois sera au départ du Bol d’Or, samedi, sur la piste du Castellet. Avec des ambitions et des projets.

On Saturday, Enzo Boulom will start the 87th Bol d’Or, the sixth of his career, hoping to do better than his 6th place in 2022. ''I like the Castellet circuit, declared the Pit-Lane Endurance rider during a presentation of his bike, at the Hyper U d’Alès, one of his partners. It's a circuit that demands a lot from the engines and that of my Yamaha is not at the level of the best.''

On June 7 and 8, at the Eight Hours of Spa, the Gard native and his teammates had mechanical problems, and rightly deplored a lack of power, with Enzo Boulom finishing 14th in this round of the world championship.

Successful test with a Polish team

This weekend, riding the Yamaha n° 86 Superstock, for the final meeting of the season, he will be reunited with his teammate Luca De Vleeschauwer (Belgium) and will be joined by two new recruits: Luca Vitali (Italy) and Twan Smits (Netherlands). In endurance, the transfer window tends to accelerate

A few weeks ago, the Alésien did a test run during a championship event in Poznan (Poland):''It was at the request of the Polish LRP team with whom I was supposed to race in 2024 but who had not received the BMWs in time. 6th and 3rd in the two rounds, the test was conclusive. With the new generation BMW, I discovered another world. In endurance, Ducati, Honda and BMW took the lead. If I sign with LRP, I will do the European Superbike Championship and the World Endurance Championship.''

Towards signing a contract in 2025 ?

In the Var, Enzo Boulom's result will be important with a view to signing a contract in 2025. ''The result is not necessarily essential, he tempers. Endurance team managers know that the final result depends on four drivers, not just one. They attach more importance to the driver's consistency in testing and racing, his behavior within the team, and his ability to “feed back” accurate information to the mechanics.''
