loris baz joins kwaka in WSBK for donnington and miller

[philbo]

The Kawasaki Racing Team will have another new face in the garage this weekend as regular Kawasaki Superstock rider Loris Baz joins the team.


Riding in place of Joan Lascorz, who suffered spinal injuries in a testing crash, Frenchman Baz will ride at Donington and the following round at Miller. Loris is an SBK rookie but a rider of great promise who raced in BSB and had a one-off outing in the IDM series last season as well. Baz won the Superstock 600 European Championship at the tender age of 15 and is still only 19 years old. He has taken the MRS Racing Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Superstock FIM Cup machine to a podium this season already, but Donington will be his first SBK ride.


Baz's immediate goal for this weekend is to learn more about his new machine as quickly as possible and make constant improvements as the meeting unfolds. He has already tested the bike for two days and the results were encouraging for all involved.
