“The choice of Sylvain Guintoli to replace injured Alex Rins was a natural fit for the team,” explains Suzuki: “not only was he World Superbike champion in 2014, but he also has MotoGP experience and he has already been Suzuki rider. He currently races in British Superbike (BSB) with the Bennetts Suzuki team on the GSX-R1000R and is currently in 12th position with 15 points, and his participation in MotoGP races does not infringe on the BSB calendar ".

"A very difficult challenge"

"First of all, I would like to thank Suzuki for giving me this fantastic opportunity", rejoices the native of Montelimar (26). "Driving the GSX-RR is a very exciting prospect, especially for my national race in front of the French fans!"

"The French GP at Le Mans evokes many memories, the best of them obviously being to have (above in front of Randy de Puniet, Editor’s note!) During a few laps in 2007!"

Ten years later, "it will be a very difficult challenge," admits Sylvain who will have to adapt to the power of the MotoGP prototype and Michelin tires, "but my main objective is to have fun and to give myself 100% to Suzuki Ecstar team. Tuesday’s test will give us some adjustment time to begin to understand this incredible bike. And finally, I wish Alex a speedy recovery. ".
