Loris Baz undoubtedly hoped to bring back from his lands of Magny-Cours more than two ninth places, like what he had experienced in 2020 with a Yamaha Ten Kate which he had hoisted to the second step of the podium . However, he leaves the Nivernais lands without regret since they have confirmed that BMW is on the rise with its M1000RR. Scott Redding, from the official team, demonstrated this with a second place on Saturday, then a fifth and a sixth position on Sunday. And that's what the Frenchman remembers from this home game.
Loris Baz left Magny-Cours with good feelings despite results in the rankings, the reading of which does not a priori arouse enthusiasm. But the situation seen from inside the Bonovo BMW team provides another perspective that the Frenchman develops as follows: “ it was a little more difficult. This was expected due to the high temperatures He said. " When there is little grip, we still have a little more difficulty. In the Superpole race we also had a small problem with the gear selector. It was really difficult and I had a leg cramp, which still bothered me a little in race 2 ».
Loris Baz: “ I had to try »
However, the coat of arms BMW demonstrated in France that it was on the right track in WSBK, especially with the new swingarm. The figurehead Scott Redding thus finished second on the podium in the first race and finished fifth and sixth on Sunday.
« The gap to the leading group was much smaller than it was a few races ago. So we are going in the right direction and we must continue to work like this ", said Baz. “ “ On Saturday we had a great chance for the podium. It was great to have two BMWs fighting for the podium. We can definitely see the progress we've made over the last few races. I was closer to Scott, but unfortunately I crashed. But I had to try " finished Loris Baz.
