Loris Baz will race in MotoGP with Team NGM Forward Racing

In the end Loris Baz made it and after the failed agreement with Team Aspar, who preferred his colleague Eugene Laverty over him (the Spanish Team "justified" itself by saying that Baz was too tall), he found the agreement to race with the NGM Forward Racing Team on the Yamaha Open.

The Frenchman therefore arrives in MotoGP and will be alongside the German Stefan Bradl (the German's place in Team LCR will be taken by Cal Crutchlow, who will be joined by Jack Miller, who will move directly from Moto3 to MotoGP), while this weekend he is busy in the penultimate round of the Superbike World Championship at Magny Cours.

“I am very pleased to welcome Loris Baz to our team – said Giovanni Cuzari, Team Owner – A young French rider who has proven to be fast in Superbike and to whom we want to give the opportunity to show his talent in MotoGP. I am happy to have this new rider arrive in the premier class of motorcycling, thus carrying forward our role as talent scout alongside Yamaha. Loris will be on track together with Stefan Bradl and we are proud to field a really young duo for next year with the 21-year-old Frenchman alongside the 24-year-old German driver.”
