It is a determined Loris Baz who goes to a circuit in Aragon to regain possession of his Ducati Avintia. Because of a big box with Pol Espargaró at the start of the British Grand Prix, he had to leave his handlebars to Xavi Fores for Misano. After tireless work to recover from his injuries, he will have a first test to pass: that of the doctors' opinion.
Doctors who will have work since they will also have to deal with the damaged vertebrae of Iannone. For the Frenchman, these are fractures of the tibia, talus and malleolus of the right ankle which had to be treated after an accident with Baptist who had really messed up his foot.
The teammate's season Barbera is decidedly made up and down. We will indeed recall the good moment of a fourth place in Brno. For Aragon, the idea will be to take back his marks, or even more if there are affinities, like the points: “ I'm not in peak shape, my foot is still sore but I think I'll be able to drive » Loris commented. “ The doctors and my physiotherapist agree. I will have a test on Thursday at the circuit to see if I am fit to race and I have their green light, I will see how I feel on the bike on Friday ».
« Since my fall, I have worked tirelessly with my physiotherapist, I have done sessions in the swimming pool to regain full mobility in my foot. The feeling has gradually improved, but I have to see how I feel on the bike. I'm really looking forward to going to Aragón to try and pick up some points if possible. But my objective is above all to regain my bearings and to be as well prepared as possible for the Asia-Pacific tour ».
Loris Baz is currently 21rd in the provisional general with 24 points. He has already assured his future for 2017 within his team for a season which will have two tricolors on the starting grid thanks to the arrival of Johann zarco at Tech3 Yamaha.
