I think it is good to make a thread about the national news and results about Motorcycle Racing, especially in countries where it is not so popular.

Last weekend, there was the '8 hours of Spa'. This is the most important Endurance race in Belgium. It was only the second edition, but the biggest names in Belgian racing were there.

Julian Mazvecos/Werner Daemen (BMW S1000RR) were leading the race until a small accident of Mazvecos. They retired from the race. After that, Sébastien Le Grelle/Stéphane Mertens (Honda CBR1000RR) took the lead but only a few minutes later, they retired with mechanical problems. The Kawasaki #4 was now in the lead and still hold the lead until the finish, despite some small clutch problems.
