The internet connection is definitely a sort of snub to a coronavirus that would like to put us in a totally vegetative state through the planetary confinement it imposes. Certainly, we are between four familiar walls, but we are not isolated. The web keeps our social animal instinct alive. And it's more than useful for a world of motorcycle racing used to traveling the world all year round. The tool nevertheless betrays a certain general boredom which pushes us to think about ourselves and others. Jean Michel Bayle even made it a meeting on his network, during which he spoke about Johann Zarco…

Jean Michel Bayle speaks on this occasion about himself, his career, his activities but also about his contemporaries.

Like with Fabio, he is direct: “ honestly, we haven't seen anything yet. There was a practice session, so it's hard to say. He's ridden twice, so it's difficult. You have to wait for the races because during the races, there is pressure, it's not the same thing at all. He's a good rider so when he gets on a motorcycle he knows how to ride. But afterwards, to get the performance, to get all that, we'll talk about it again when he's on a race. » And when will it be? This is a question that everyone would sincerely like to answer…
