The victory, which seemed promised to the green bike, was confirmed only after an improbable mano a mano in the last hour, the game of supplies and a final race neutralization. "It's beautiful, it's an incredible feeling, maybe the most beautiful day of my life, in this mythical race," responded the hero of the SRC-Kawasaki team Jeremy Guarnoni, who was "dead an hour and a half before the end of the event, which he won alongside Spaniard David Checa and Frenchman Erwan Nigon.
