Former MotoGP rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Loris Baz will race for the factory I🌌ndian team in this yea♚r’s MotoAmerica King of the Baggers series.

The Frenchman – who moved back to the ♉US last year (having previously competed in MotoAmerica in 2019) after he was left out of BMW’s WorldSBK plans for 2024 when the Bavarian marque signed Toprak Razgatlioglu – will contest his third year in the MotoAmerica paddock this year, but will switch from the Superbike class he raced last year🔴 to the King of the Baggers series, and from Ducati to Indian.

Baz was able to seal his first MotoAmerica Superbike victo💎ry last year at the fina๊l round in New Jersey, beating ex-Moto2 rider Sean Dylan Kelly by 0.151 seconds in a race that saw the top five riders cross the line within a second of the win.

However, having not renewed with the HSBK Ducati team for this year, Baz has found himself a spot on Indian’s “Wrecking Crew” of factory racers, alongsidဣe defending champion and fellow new signing Troy Herfoss and past champion Tyler O’Hara on the 1,768cc Indian Challenger.

“The King of the Baggers series has had my attention since it began, and to be a part of it as a member of the legendary Indian Motorcycle Wrecking Crew is truly an hﷺonor,” said B🃏az.

“Racing Superbike, I’ve seen first-hand what Troy [Herfoss] and Tyler [O’Hara] have accomplished aboard the S&S Ind🐼ian Challenger, and I’m thrilled to be joining this championship team as we chase another title together in 2025.”

The King of the Baggers series has increased in popularity internationally in recent years thanks to its unusual-looking motorcycles (at least compared to those which  are normally found on a race track), well-known riders such as Jeremy McWilliams, and the exciting racing pဣroduced at circuits like Daytona where slipstreams around the banked oval sections of the track keep the pack close together.
