Kawasaki SRC, while being a rather-good team (DUH), only likes competing in both French 24h races (Bol d'Or and LM24) plus the Suzuka 8h. I'd change the plans if I were them!

Stint-adjusting is right now a thing - Honda #111 have gone from 32 laps between stops to 33 laps. They need that 33rd lap a bunch of times to avoid doing a very costly and painful last-minute fuel-and-go stop.

Sebastien Gimbert (Honda #111) has retired from pro racing. 3-time LM24 winner, 3-time Bol d'Or winner, GP500 rider... Dude has raced professionally for almost 25 years.

Honda #111 (Randy de Puniet) cutting the gap back. Considering a pitstop is around 65 seconds in total, RdP has cut the real gap to around just 10 seconds with more than 1h40' to go. Suzuki #2 might be able to finish on the lead lap but it's gonna be close.

2nd-to-last stop for Kawasaki #11, the race leaders.
After the stop? TEN SECONDS, the gap is only 10 seconds.

8,5 seconds --- RdP is hunting down David Checa. Can he cut back the gap while being fuel-efficient enough?

Eurosport is predicting that there will be an elbow-to-elbow fight for the lead in around 10-12 minutes.

I'm going downstairs to go watch this final minutes on the bigger screen. You can watch this history-making 24h sportbike race in http://www.twitch.tv/stufffandmore

77' to go = Honda #111 passes Kawasaki #11 for the lead on the final double-right corner.
62' to go = Honda #111 stops while leading by 12 seconds, they might have to stretch this final fuel tank quite a bit.
49' to go = Kawasaki #11 stops too. Honda #111 now leads by 18 seconds. Can Honda Endurance make the fuel last enough?
30' to go = Kawasaki #11 is now trailing by 12 seconds. If the pace doesn't drop, they'll probably catch Honda #111 before the checkered flag.
17' to go = SAFETY CAR OUT, some Yamaha has blown the fuck up approaching the 1st chicane and has left a trail of oil. To make shit even more interesting, there is no bike between Honda #111 and Kawasaki #11, they'll restart nose-to-tail... if the race restarts.
SC PERIOD = The ACO and Eurosport Events send as much people as possible to clean the oil spill as quickly as possible, they even make several service vehicles drive over the drying dust to clean it even faster. Kawasaki SCR celebrates a lot when the SC lights turn off.
8' to go = RESTART, the race will end up being a 6-lap sprint and Jeremy Guarnoni (Kawasaki #11) overtakes Yonny Hernández (Honda #111) into the 1st chicane.
1' to go = Honda #111 stops for a fuel-and-go. The fuel hose had a problem on the final stop and it didn't fill the fuel tank.
FINISH = Kawasaki SCR #11 wins the most dramatic FIM EWC 24h race of all time by a minute over Honda Endurance #111 and 1 lap over Suzuki Endurance #2. What a race!

Final results - Not even movies have endings such as this one!

The 2019 winners of the 24h of Le Mans sportbike race. 👏🏻
Left-to-right = Erwan Nigon, David Checa and Jeremy Guarnoni

Like that one Spanish commentator used to say: "Why do all big winners smile the same way?"

Former player Bernd Schuster decided to insult Toni Kroos by calling him "a diesel tractor" so some dude on Twitter decided to find tractors with similar paintjobs to Kroos' shirts. http://twitter.com/HalaRonan/status/1119633305631121410

One of the best tennis players to never win a Grand Slam title has retired today. David Ferrer calls it quits weeks after turning 37. He spent 17 years being a full-time pro.
· 1 Grand Slam final
· 1 World Tour Finals final
· 1 ATP Masters 1000 won
· 10 ATP 500 won
· 16 ATP 250 won
· 3 Davis Cups (team effort but he was part of it)
· Spent almost 6 consecutive years inside the top10

He once was the next best behind the Big 3 of this era (Federer, Nadal and Djokovic), not a weak player by any means.

I come back and there is nothing but cringe.

Pro sidecar racing is freaking mental. The teams used very very low L-shaped tricycles where 1 guy drives while the other guy acts as dynamic counterweight. The average speeds are surprisingly high considering the power-to-weight ratio. http://youtu.be/Zjcw96FrRnA

there is also an anime btw 😛

About sidecar racing?

yes

its called 2 car

"two car"

of course it is chicks but still

WTF!? Also, I like the concept "fast speed yuri". 😂

Half-man wants to still be a half-man while competing against women 🤦🏻 http://www.reuters.com/article/us-athletics-diamond-doha-idUSKCN1S91PS

What the fuck is wrong with these people.
It's like arm wrestling my 11 year old daughter and slamming her hand down and then going 'in you're face'

After the first time I did it just got boring.

Shes crap at arm wrestling

Caster Semenya has been in doubt for like a decade, maybe more.

Nobody claims it's a dude, they/we claim it's a hermaphrodite, which already disqualifies it from entering women's competitions.

WHAT SOME PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND
· Women's competitions = you gotta be a woman.
· Men's competitions = everything else goes there, even women can compete if they sign up (depends on the sport).

So he/she is an hermaphrodite

Can this not be determined

It has been determined that it is an hermaphrodite, it has been proven.

The problem is that the IAAF (athletics) doesn't want to be seen as sexist and all that jazz.

Right.so how much quicker is he she than the rest of the shes...

Some are saying that Caster Semenya is the IAAF and the Olympic Games' stepping stone towards allowing full-blown transexuals in women's competitions.

It's crazy.. I don't get it from a personal perspective never mind from the perspective of the IAAF not wanting to seem sexist

It just seems weird to want to go into a competition at another level you know you've got an advantage over the rest of the field.

I've heard a number of very prominent women athletes have spoke. Up about this though

Semenya's "achievements"
· Olympic golds in 800m (half-mile) in both 2012 & 2016.
· World golds in 800m in 2009, 2011 & 2017.
· Junior World gold in 800m in 2008.
· 2nd-best 800m time of all time if you discount the doped-as-fuck Eastern Block ladies of the 80s.
