The summer break is an opportunity for pilots to carry out activities that their intense pilot life prohibits them from doing. And although we may be an athlete who defies gravity on the most demanding machines in the world, that's not why we are in compliance with the highway code to enjoy an ordinary machine on the road. . A paradox which Loris Baz has just put an end to. Here he is with the A2 license in his pocket!
Loris Baz has a motorcycle license! An announcement which may surprise and yet, the Ducati Avintia Grand Prix rider and member of the MotoGP starting grid for two seasons has just successfully passed the driving test.
Now he'll have to be careful. The A2 license will be his key for two years and he will have to follow 7 hours of post-license training before being able to drive a motorcycle with a power greater than 35 kW.
Fortunately, until December 31, 2016, driving and road safety educational establishments mentioned in articles L. 213-1 and L. 213-7 of the Highway Code can use motorcycles falling under category A , to provide training with a view to obtaining the category A2 driving license. Loris was therefore able to taste the big engine during his training!
Finally, he will return to his Desmosedici on August 12 for the Austrian Grand Prix. This will be an opportunity to reassure us about its future since 2017 should continue under the same conditions. Which will make us two French in MotoGP with Johann zarco which will be at Tech3 Yamaha.
