Loris Baz has opened up an opportunity in the United States to relaunch a sporting career now dedicated to the Superbike paddock. The former Grand Prix rider, who made his mark in WSBK, found himself without a ride after the Ten Kate Yamaha formula led to a dead end, despite more than honorable results. Rather than lament his fate and vegetate in Europe, the Frenchman crossed the Atlantic to arrive in a MotoAmerica which is unknown to him but which is important for Ducati. So much so that in the event of success, the brand could reward him with a place in one of its teams in WSBK…
In fact, we are already talking about the team in which he will officiate in 2021 Chaz Davies as an element of collection of a Loris Baz who will have covered himself in glory with Uncle Sam. But before getting there, he will have to prove himself, in a season MotoAmerica which will debut at Road Atlanta in early May.
Loris Baz signed with Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati New York, a team that receives factory support. Ducati really cares about gaining MotoAmerica. The tricolor is based not far from HSBK Racing in Pennsylvania. Because traveling between continents is currently difficult, the pilot of 28 years will be its center of life for the months to come.
Loris Baz has his roadmap
« You never know what the future holds for you. It always turns out differently than expected ", said Baz in an interview with the website of MotoAmerica. " I never would have dreamed of riding in MotoAmerica. But now it is. So I'm going to focus on this year first and winning this series. Maybe I'll stay in the US for another year and then return to Europe ».
Si Baz is doing very well in the United States, as expected, he will have some chances at Ducati in the Superbike World Championship for 2022, as all contracts expire at the end of 2021. My goal is to win MotoAmerica this year so I can earn a place on the Ducati factory team in the Superbike World Championship and win there too ", Baz said confidently. “ Ultimately you have to wait and see ».
