Avis et sentiments des pilotes, à la veille du GP de France


MotoGP. Nicky Hayden: "I really hope to be able to rearrange the season in Le Mans. We're back in Europe and the year moves on quickly; therefore, it's important to get a good result soon. I want to give my technicians a reason to smile again; they are working really hard and there's a big team spirit, but we haven't had many reasons for a smile lately. The sensor breaking down in China was a shame, as was loosing positions towards the end of the race, but at least we found out what was the source of the problem. I haven't made my best races in Le Mans in the past, but I hope to have better luck from the first free practice on Friday morning and make everything work for the race on Sunday.”





MotoGP. Max Biaggi: "Le Mans is a nice round. I like the atmosphere a lot and the way French fans understand motorcycling. They have a romantic way of living motorcycling and I like to enjoy that every time I'm at home in Monte Carlo. I obviously like the circuit as well and the way the organisation works. I took the victory there in the 500cc class in 2001 and I've also set several fastest lap records. It's a narrow, technical track and it doesn't allow for big differences between riders; there are always big challenges. I'm going to Le Mans to finally make a good race. The season has, for sure, not started the way I would have liked, and therefore I hope that from the Grand Prix of France, both my team and I will be able to show our whole potential and to be back in the front."
