Five weeks after his crash in Aragon (Spain), Jules Cluzel will be back on his Yamaha R6 this weekend in Estoril (Portugal) for the last round of the season. Back to training for nearly three weeks, Jules has prepared conscientiously his return on track.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After a podium for Jules Cluzel and a 4th position of Corentin Perolari on the Phillip Island circuit (Australia) in February, World Supersport is back this week end in Jerez (Spain).

Jules Cluzel and Corentin Perolari have multiplied the tests on the circuits of Carole and Alès before the official WorldSBK tests on July 8th and 9th, on the circuit of Catalunya.

Andy Verdoïa, 17 years old, from Nice, finished fourth in the World Supersport 300 Championship and 1st Yamaha rider. In 2020 Andy will move up to the 600cc class in the Spanish MS Racing team.

Since many years, GMT94 helps French riders who race in national championships. Maximilien Bau (20), French Supersport Champion in 2019, and Martin Renaudin (21), multiple winner in French Supersport, will be technically supported by GMT94.
