MotoGP Le Mans: First home race for Frenchman Loris Baz

MotoGP 2015 Forward Racing – The Frenchman Loris Baz (Yamaha Open) will take part in his first MotoGP race in front of his home fans this weekend at Le Mans. The former Kawasaki Superbike rider can't wait to hit the track and will use a special livery on Sunday along with a new helmet and special suit. The word is up to him.

“This will be my first home grand prix in MotoGP. I can't wait for Friday: it will be exciting to get on the track in front of my fans and friends – said Loris Baz – Furthermore, for the race on Sunday I will have a celebratory livery together with a new helmet and a special suit. In Jerez we worked hard on the test day trying various new solutions and we can do well.”

His team-mate Stefan Bradl is eager to get on track after the good settings and electronics solutions tested in Jerez. “On the test day in Jerez we made a really good step forward with the setting and the electronics. I am therefore eager to try these new settings at Le Mans to get closer to the top of the Open and the points zone. I can't wait to get on the track.”
