“After finishing on the podium on my debut with YART at the Bol d’Or last year, we are ready to return to action this weekend in the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. We have completed some very successful tests over the winter in which our pace was really strong and the team have worked really hard to improve some details of the bike, so we’re in a good position going into this race. It’s the toughest race of the year, but I’m really looking forward to the challenge,” Canepa says as quoted from Yamaha Racing.

“We enjoyed a really good pre-season and I’ve worked hard over the winter to be ready for the first race of the year in Le Mans this weekend. We have had two positive tests in Le Mans and we also tested in Rijeka where, unfortunately, we only managed a few laps due to strong winds and bad weather. The last Le Mans test went well and we found a really good set-up on our YART R1 in both the wet and dry, so we’re ready for anything the weather can throw at us this weekend. We have a really strong rider line up and a really good atmosphere in the team, so we’re ready for Le Mans.” Image result for yart yamaha 2018-2019 broc parkes

“I think we’re in a good position going into the race this year, even if we haven’t had that much testing time due to the weather here in Europe the last few months. During the testing we have had, all three riders have been really quick and when you look at the teams on paper, I think we’ve got probably the strongest rider line up of any of the teams in the race this year. I certainly feel good and it’s a pleasure to be back here in Europe to race the YART R1 again. The bike feels really strong, we’ve got a good base set-up for the Le Mans circuit, we’re in a good position going into the race and I’m really looking forward to the weekend ahead.”

The first qualifying session of the Le Mans will commence on Thursday until Friday.
