In the middle of the week, the nine drivers of the team Peugeot Sport met for an oxygenation course, intended to unite men together with a view to 24 hours of Le Mans. Before settling into the seat of the official 908 HDi, Pagenaud, Bourdais, Montagny and co took advantage of three days spent at altitude, in Chamonix, to meet up, relax and get back into shape. On the program, rafting, canyoning, climbing, abseiling?

But it was ultimately during an activity, apparently less dangerous than the previous ones, that things went wrong. Franck Montagny, during a football game, injured his leg. According to the first diagnostics, the Forézien has become slightly ??damaged?? the fibula. But, for the moment, its participation in the 24 hours of Le Mans is not in question. Eight days before the start of the Le Mans week, the opposite would be very bad news for the driver and his team.
