The record holder for victories on clay at Roland-Garros Rafael Nadal was designated as the Starter of the next 24 Hours of Le Mans (Sarthe, June 16-17). The Spanish tennis player will start from the podium balcony at 15 p.m. by waving the French flag, as has been done before Fernando Alonso (in 2014) or the actor Brad Pitt (in 2016).
“Between tennis players and pilots, we have in common a competitive spirit and a habit of seeking new challenges, explains the Spanish athlete. I can assure you that lowering the flag will be a proud moment. »
