What kind of race it is

A 24-hour race at Le Mans, and the opening round of the championship. It uses the Bugatti circuit inside the same grounds as the car race, starting on Saturday afternoon and running until Sunday afternoon. Teams of three riders take turns through a full day and night.

Result

An endurance round is a single race, with the riders of one team taking turns. That is why there is only an overall classification.
