Superbike: The riders engage in an unusual tour

The new Superbike World Champion Jonathan Rea, Niccolò Canepa, Markus Reiterberger (VanZon Remeha BMW) and Pawel Szkopek (Szkopek POLand POSITION), together with the French riders Christophe Ponsson (Team Pedercini), Lucas Mahias (MG Competition), Jeremy Guarnoni (Team Trasimeno), Matthieu Lussiana (Team ASPI) and Mathieu Dumas (Team OGP) visited the LOOK bicycle factory in Nevers, in which they were able to see first-hand the process of designing, creating and assembling the products.

LOOK has a unique history in the world of cycling dating back to 1984. The company invented the clipless pedal, produced the first carbon frame bike and the first single carbon frame track bike. LOOK is a leading global company that has won the Bike of the Year award four times, so the visit was very interesting for the riders, as cycling is an important part of their training.

The riders also had access to some areas of the company that are normally closed to the public, where the technological process of creating the bicycles takes place.

At the end of the tour, the drivers returned to the Magny-Cours circuit, where they took part in a series of autograph sessions.
