Monster Yamaha Tech3 rider Pol Espargaro will be aiming to fly high this weekend at the team’s hugely anticipated home race, in the Monster Energy Grand Prix de France, for round 5 of the 2014 MotoGP World Championship.

After a successful and confidence affirming post Jerez test, Espargaro and teammate Bradley Smith will build on their positive results so far this season and put their newly acquired knowledge from the test to use in the 28-lap sprint at the 4185 metre Le Mans circuit, one of the most historically significant motorsport tracks.

Rookie Pol Espargaro will continue his rocket start to his MotoGP career and intends to collect his fourth top ten finish, as he consistently battles against established riders in the top half of the field.

Pol Espargaro
“I am looking forward to the Grand Prix de France and doing my best for the Tech3 team in their home country. I won the race here in 2010 in the 125 class, and have always enjoyed the circuit. I am still learning step by step, but am feeling really confident, especially after testing a few things on the bike in the test after the Jerez race. I feel very optimistic in achieving a good result in front of the team’s fans and am excited to see what I can do aboard the Yamaha YZR-M1 around the famous Le Mans circuit.”

Hervé Poncharal
“Firstly, I want to say that I am really looking forward to the teams’ home race. I am always really impressed and truly grateful by the home support from the French fans who really get behind our team. The atmosphere is always superb in Le Mans and for me one of the best in Europe, so we hope for a great result from both riders, which would please everyone. For Pol we hope his great start to his rookie career and his ever-increasing confidence will continue. Of course, no one knows what will occur with the weather, so it is guaranteed to be an interesting weekend.”
