• MNC Lucas Mahias interview :

Now since the Portuguese event, says himself "very happy to have signed one more year with the GRT and Yamaha, which is the manufacturer closest to my heart: I started my career with them in 2009 on an R6 and it’s great to imagine that I will be able to fight for the title of World Supersport Champion 2018 in the official Yamaha team on an R6 ".

"This year, it was the first time that I rode in an official WorldSSP team and it was fantastic", continues the n ° 144, born April 14, 1989 in Mont-de-Marsan (40): "the team GRT suits me perfectly and the R6 is by far the best bike. All of this allowed me to constantly fight at the forefront in 2017 and with an additional year of experience, in 2018 I think we will have a package even more competitive ".

Victory at Magny-Cours !

This weekend at Magny-Cours, Lucas is clearly aiming for victory. "It’s a circuit that I really like, not so much for the layout itself but because it’s my national race and I have very good memories there! The circuit has many chicanes which are more suitable for cars. On a motorcycle it’s not as cool, although there are a few corners that I love, as are the fast portions which are amazing. They are great on the R6 ".

"The layout allows for some great brawls in the race, but the grip is bad in the wet so hopefully the sun will shine this weekend. I can’t wait to ride in front of my fans and will do my best. better to win! "
