As MotoGP continued its indecisive season in Austin, the WSBK launched its own season in Aragon with equal promise of spectacle and uncertainty. A first meeting that did not turn out in favor of the BMW brand, but did find a leader who is none other than the Frenchman Loris Baz. A good omen for the future, as the Bavarians just got a boost from the regulations…
Loris Bazo has done what it takes to position itself as a leader at BMW before they can do the same in the WSBK peloton. But for now, the M1000RR is not at the level that worries the dominant trio equipped with Ducati, Kawasaki and Yamaha… ” Everyone asked me about our potential and it is currently between P8 and P11there are the BMW machines “, marked bazo† † We must work hard and close the gap With his Bonovo team, which is not the official structure, while benefiting from state-of-the-art equipment, the Frenchman has worked well. And under the eyes of BMW boss Dr. Markus Schramm, who visited his teams in Spain…
Loris Bazo finished 11th in the first race, 13th in the Superpole Race and especially seventh in the second feature race, especially for the Hondas. He is ninth overall in the championship with 14 points, ahead of Yamaha’s Gerlof† He is the best positioned of the BMW drivers. And he speaks like a leader…” We had to figure out why on Saturday we were slower in the race than in the test and why I was slower in the group than alone. “, said bazo† † So together with the team we made some changes for the second race and in the end I felt more comfortable on the bike. I understood more things and the bike was more like what I’m looking for †
Loris Baz: we all need to believe and work on this project together†
He adds: speed week † I was also able to get back to where I see our current potential behind the top 3 machines but ahead of Honda† That’s exactly what I had in mind. So I tried not to make a mistake and took her home †
The Frenchman finished 23.9 behind the winner Allvaro Bautista on the Ducati. BMW has his job to do for the second round in Assen in two weeks. This is what you think Loris Bazo † I said from the start that this weekend is our foundation for the whole yearwe have to build on it† We must all believe in this project together and work as hard as we have since the first test. The season is long, so we must continue in the same way †
Incidentally, Dorna, the FIM and the MSMA have decided to grant manufacturers in difficulty six days of extra testing. Honda HRC will also benefit from this.
