Hometown:

Lagrive, from Lisiuex in Normandy, is now an acknowledged endurance racing expert and one of the trio of fast Frenchmen in Team SRC Kawasaki. Having been part of EWC race winning teams – and achieving overall Championship success – Lagrive is no stranger to the podium.

Drafted into the squad by Team Principal, Gilles Stafler, he is a known quantity and certainly a “first pick choice” of any team in the current WEC series. Lagrive has ridden in 500km, 6 hour, 8 hour and 24 hour racing, so is clearly not worried about these long stints!
Riding through injury many times, he is the sort of rider that thrives in the often gritty and relentless world of Endurance Racing.
At a member of last season’s SRC Kawasaki’s EWC campaign team, Lagrive is looking to add to his tally of wins through the 8HR and 24HR events in 2016 on the new Ninja ZX-10R.
