Loris Baz: “Home GPs are always something very special, and it’s always exciting to race in front of the people who come to this race because it’s something very special. There are also a lot of different things happening and distractions throughout the weekend and all my sponsors will be in Le Mans – so it’s important to be well-organised to be able to focus well on the race. The circuit has been resurfaced, so that will change things a lot, too. Jerez wasn’t great but Le Mans is a circuit that could suit us better, because there are hard braking areas and that’s one of my strong points with this bike. So I hope I can have a good race and dedicate it to my fans.”
