The CH of Laragne, at the lunch break, allowed to recharge the batteries thanks to the famous “Soupe d’Épautre”, a local specialty offered to the crews by the Auto Sport du Laragnais.

To digest all this, the SR11 first: Ventavon-Chabestan, 21 km with still some icy parts but still a spring weather.
It is for the last SR, the 12, located in the Vercors massif, La Cîme du Mas – Col Gaudissart run from 13:55, that the snow decided to come and play the troublemaker !
The abundance of flakes quickly made the road conditions difficult, the Race Direction took the wise decision to cancel this last SR.
