Here we go towards Le Mans for the fourth appointment of the Moto2 season, a highly emotional circuit for the JiR Team as it is the home race for its rider Mike Di Meglio.
In preparation of the race that will happen on Sunday the JiR Team’s technicians worked hard to bring some evolutions in aerodynamics that will debut in the French GP and then will be further developed throughout the season. Little steps forward that will bring the technical evolution for the machine that hopefully will help the French champion to find some more consistency toward the counting positions. The weather is still unpredictable for the weekend, so the whole team will stay ready in order to react to any conditions.
Gianluca Montiron – JiR Team Principal
“Just like last year this French GP will be very special for us, having in our team a French rider who is looking for a good result in his home race. Last year we had an emotional weekend that saw our bike well performing, so much so Johann Zarco caught the leader and only a crash prevented him from a good result. The weather will be a factor but we all know that we need to stay focused, ready to take advantage of any chance. We look positively to the upcoming races, Mike will make a further step forward in his riding style and his approach to the practice sessions, we do have trust in his capabilities and we’re working hard to put him in the best conditions and find back the champion he has been before.”
Mike Di Meglio – JiR Team Rider
"Le Mans is one track that I like, it is my home GP, and it's always a pleasure to be there with all the fans. In the past when I won it was something that will stay always in my mind. In Jerez we had a very difficult weekend, my team works very hard to understand what has happened, and I work to understand what I can improve! We work very hard all of us, and I’m very excited to be again on my bike! We know our bike is fast in the rain and dry and in Le Mans the weather can be difficult! We can have a very good weekend and I’m fully motivated for this!”
