Be careful, hot ahead! In Moto3, this year, everything has to be considered. In four Grands Prix contested, there were four different winners, an instability also noted in Moto2. But in Moto3, we have authentic exploits, from the state of grace of a Pawi in the rain to a Binder on a cloud who left last and victorious. What if Le Mans gave us a glorious compatriot on a motorcycle with a tricolor name on it? Like Alexis Masbou and Peugeot? Impossible is not French they say!
Certainly, but to take the lion's share with a machine that remains a Bengal tiger, because it is a member of the Indian Mahindra clan, you will have to weld like a donkey. Within a team still in financial and legal turmoil and with a technical package that is not the best, Alexis Masbou will have work.
Twenty-fourth in Qatar, twenty-first in Argentina, still sixteenth in Austin and a retirement in Jerez after having fought for fourteenth position, it is nothing to say that the Albigensian, despite progress, n don't arrive in the shoes of a favorite at Le Mans. But against bad luck, you have to have a good heart, and the teammate of John mcphee prefers to see things from the right angle: “ the French Grand Prix, my national Grand Prix, is obviously an important moment of the season and perhaps even more so this year as an official Peugeot driver » underlines the compatriot of Danilo and Quarterly. “ Our desire as all, driver and team, is to show that we have made significant progress since the first race ».
« We have been able to notice this progress race after race but now, on home soil, we must make it happen with a performance during the Grand Prix. Taking our first points under normal conditions would already be good, but finishing in the top 10 would be perfect. To do this, we will have to be concentrated from the first to the last lap because currently, the slightest mistake still costs money. The desire is there and feeling at home can only add to our motivation ».
