World Superbike: Baz Subbing For Injured Davies At Jerez

World Superbike: Baz Subbing For Injured Davies At Jerez

© 2021, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. From a press release issued By Team Go Eleven:

CHAZ DAVIES IS UNFIT; LORIS BAZ REPLACES HIM TILL THE INJURY IS OVER!

A few days after the unlucky crash in Barcelona, ​​the news is official; Chaz Davies is unfit (two ribs broken) and will not be able to take part at the Jerez de la Frontera Round!

The Go Eleven Team wishes, first of all, a speedy recovery to the Welsh rider and awaits him on the track as soon as possible. The empty place left by Chaz will be taken by Loris Baz, a strong French rider currently engaged in the AMA Superbike Championship, with the Ducati V4-R. Born in 1993, former Moto-GP rider, he achieved 18 podiums in the World Superbike Championship, the last of which last year on the Magny-Cours track, then riding the Ten Kate Yamaha. Loris was ready and did not hesitate to give his availability to replace Chaz, so much so that he had to take the first flight to Europe, to arrive in time for the Round of Jerez, staged on 24-26 September! Ready for his debut with number 11 (“his” 76 is already used by another rider), for the first time on a Ducati Superbike, he will be riding the V4-RS until Chaz Davies returns.

The Go Eleven Team would like to thank Loris, the Warhorse HSBK Racing team, Ducati New York, Ducati and the Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Team for making the agreement possible in a very short time!

Loris Baz (Rider): 

“First of all I want to wish Chaz a quick recovery, it’s never nice when a rider has an injury and I hope he gets back on the bike soon. I thank Team Go Eleven for the opportunity given, as well as Ducati and my team in America, HSBK, and Ducati New York, for letting me come back to Europe earlier than expected to be able to participate in the next WorldSBK races. It was a last minute deal, I still have to fix everything to take the flight, but I can’t wait to be in Jerez, a track I really like, and get on the Superbike version of the Ducati V4-R. I’ll do my best and give 100% as always!”

Denis Sacchetti (Team Manager):

“I just spoke with Chaz, he’s fine, but he’s angry at not being able to be with us on the track. Now his goal is to recover as soon as possible for the season finale. I’m sure Loris will be able to hold our flag high. He has already demonstrated what he is capable of. He is a strong, fast rider, he has a lot of experience although he is still very young, and he also knows the characteristics of the V4-R, a bike with which he has just raced in the American championship. I want to thank Loris for having accepted this new challenge I can’t wait to see him on the track with our colors!”
