OUTSTANDING-LE-MANS

We've attended 2 exciting races in Le Mans. The young Finn Rico Salmela led the first race before being overtaken by the Spanish Angel Piqueras in the last lap, who won the race. 

Piqueras also won the second race after an exciting competition with the Italian Guido Pini and the Spanish Alberto Ferrández. It was his 5th victory of the season. At 16 years old, he already has all the qualities of a great man!

The Stroke 4 5W40 runs in the veins of the KTM RC 250 R. The official Red Bull mechanics team also uses products from the Careline range to maintain the 24 bikes. IPONE works hand in hand with the Cup technical teams to provide them with high-quality products that can help improve bike performance.
