WorldSBK: Loris Baz at Jerez in place of Chaz Davies

The bad luck continues for the Go Eleven Ducati team this season. After Covid earlier in the year, Chaz Davies is now out of action for at least the next two rounds of Jerez and Portimao due to injury. Sunday’s Superpole race unfortunately left Davies with fractured ribs.

Many names have been cited as possible substitutes for the Welshman, but the most likely to ride the #7 V4R is Loris Baz. The Frenchman, having just completed the final MotoAmerica round in which he scored three podiums, will climb aboard the Italian’s team V4R in the coming days to be ready to compete at a track he enjoys and at which he’s always scored strong results.
