The debut season of the Moto2 category continues on in Le Mans as the next track to host the World Championship for round
three of the 600cc session. Ahead in the rankings is Japanese racer Shoya Tomizawa of the Technomag-CIP squad, after taking
a victory and a second place in the initial two events.
The good beginning has the 19 year-old in excellent form,
he will be looking to improve dramatically after his failure to end in last season’s 250cc event. Immediately
following is Toni Elías with only seven points seperating him, the Spaniard enjoyed success at the circuit in the past
by taking victory in Le Mans in the quarter litre category in 2003. Elías’ victory at Jerez has allowed him to
be one of the few racers to have now been victorious in four different classes.

Thomas Lüthi takes on third position in the standings, with two victories (both in the 125cc session) at Le Mans he also
knows his way around the track quite comfortably. A stage end at Jerez previously means he will be one favourite to be challenge
his rivals.
Jules Cluzel’s need to please his home crowd will also see the Forward Racing competitor trying
hard. The Frenchman will need to improve on his last record at Le Mans as he did not race in the 250cc class for the last
2 years, due to physical issues.
Alex Debón (Aeroport de Castelló-Ajo) arrives back following the
disappointment of a DNF at Jerez and will be looking to improve on his fifth position in the rankings, while Simone Corsi
(JiR Moto2), Sergio Gadea (Tenerife 40 Pons) and Roberto Rolfo (Italtrans STR) are all in the top eight with a view to the
podium.
