Intact GP aims for top positions at Le Mans
The LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP Team is looking forward to the sixth round of the season in Le Mans, which will be held from 9th to 11th May at the traditional Bugatti Circuit. With its strong rider line-up in Moto3 and Moto2, the German team is ready to fight for top positions in both classes once again.
Located around 200 kilometres south-west of Paris, the French circuit is known for its challenging 4.19 km with 14 corners and its characteristic stop-and-go sections. Even though there's currently no rain predicted, changeable weather conditions have repeatedly caused surprises and exciting races in the past.
Moto3 rookie Guido Pini will be looking to build on his strong form after his recent points-scoring success in Jerez and continue to impress. David Muñoz has also demonstrated his potential several times this season already and is aiming for a comeback to the point rankings in Le Mans. Tyre choice and strategy will be crucial in the 20-lap race on Sunday (11:00 CEST). The experienced team around 17-year-old Italian Pini and 18-year-old Spaniard Muñoz is well prepared and knows about their competitiveness on the KTM.
In the Moto2 category, Manuel Gonzalez and Senna Agius will be looking to build on their impressive double podium from Jerez. Both already have experience at Le Mans, so the current World Championship leader Gonzalez and the 19-year-old Australian Agius are aiming for further top results on the demanding French tarmac with its many hard braking zones thanks to their strong pace and consistency. The mix of talent, team spirit and experience is essential - and with the right strategy, Le Mans could turn into yet another highlight of the season.
