Day 1. Dry and mixed conditions during free practices.

Kyle Smith has joined the GMT94 team for a weekend to replace Jules Cluzel, who has just had an operation on his left leg after his accident in Aragon (Spain). In free practice 1, Corentin Perolari increased his pace compared to the practices he did in July. With laps in 1’46, he finished 6th of the session. Corentin, wishing to work for the race, used only one set of tyres in FP1.

Catalan WorldSBK : GMT94 will support Oscar Gutierrez, Spanish Supersport Championship leader

This weekend the sixth round of the World Supersport Championship will take place on the Barcelona circuit. Oscar Gutierrez, winner of four on six races in the Spanish Supersport Championship, will race as wild-card in Barcelona for the World Supersport Championship. Following a request from his team (Andotrans Team Torrento), the GMT94 team will support the 21-year-old Spanish rider.

Mid-season summary: the GMT94 supported riders

Every year since its creation, the GMT94 Team has been involved in the French Superbike Championship. The team holds four French championship titles and has supported many French riders.

Jules Cluzel absent for the Barcelona race. Kyle Smith as substitute.

Following his crash on the circuit of Aragon on Sunday, September 6, Jules Cluzel, injured at the tibia and fibula, doesn’t know his convalescence period yet, even if his surgeon promises him that it will be fast. Just like the GMT94 team, Christophe Guyot’s rider doesn’t want to take any risk for his health.

Operation scheduled on Saturday for Jules Cluzel.

Jules Cluzel arrived last night at the clinic of Clermont-Ferrand (France). The preparation of the parts to fix the tibia and remove the material in his ankle will take a few days.

Some news from Jules Cluzel

While he was leading the race on the circuit of Aragon, Jules Cluzel was hit by a rider at the beginning of the third lap. Taken to the hospital of Alcaniz, Jules underwent some tests that revealed a fracture of the tibia and the fibula.

7th position of Corentin Perolari, crash for Jules Cluzel.

After a very good start, Jules Cluzel led the race for two laps, before an opponent became too optimistic and collided with the GMT94 rider at the beginning of the third lap. Jules is currently being checked, we will give news about him as soon as possible.

Podium for Jules Cluzel, 9th position for Corentin Perolari.

After an impressive Superpole lap by Jules Cluzel in 1’53.1, the rider of the Yamaha GMT94 #16 broke the lap record dating from 2015, and was provisionally second on the grid for both races. Unfortunately, a yellow flag was brought out during Jules’ lap, which since this year automatically removes the fast laps of riders passing under this flag.
