Some of the top Spanish riders will enter the 6 Horas Nocturnas of Albacete, second event of the Qtel FIM Endurance World Championship, taking place next Saturday from 6 pm to midnight. First is the local specialist, YMES Folch Endurance. Present on a regular basis on the Albacete podium, the team is now permanently competing in the Qtel FIM Endurance World Championship. Several mechanical problems and a crash took them away from a good result during the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but Daniel Ribalta, Pedro Lluis Valcaneras proved their potential by being temporarily in third place at Le Mans. David Tomas, another Spanish Endurance specialist, will race with them in Albacete. Two other national teams will be able to play at high level next week-end in Spain. Suzuki Catala gives its GSX-R 1000 to three top riders from the Spanish Formula Extreme (Superbike), Josep Sarda, Kenny Noyes and Bernat Martinez.

Another Spanish rider is part of the Team Kawasaki France. To replace Gwen Giabbani, dismissed at the end of April, Christian Bourgeois, team manager of TKF, chose Spanish rider Victor Carrasco, who was seen last year on the QERT motorcycle.

Guillaume Dietrich will replace Matthieu Lagrive, who is suffering from torn muscles in his ribs after his crash during the World Supersport event in Assen. Moreover, Matthieu Lagrive also has to enter a Supersport race this week-end at Monza.
