Race resume

After a five-month interruption, the World Supersport Championship was back on track at the Jerez circuit. Following numerous set-up tests, Jules Cluzel managed to climb to fourth place (+0.4 sec), and Corentin Perolari to eighth (+1.1 sec).

At the end of an unusual race that saw big gaps following the Flag-to-Flag (pit stop), Jules Cluzel finished 3rd, just a few tenths off second place.

This Saturday started with a final free practice session. Jules Cluzel set a lap four-tenths quicker than last year before crashing out at high speed without any consequences for his body.

After two good days of testing at Phillip Island, the goal for the GMT94 riders was to complete as many laps as possible to work on the race pace. During the morning session it rained at ten minutes from the beginning.

Like every year, the WorldSBK paddock will be in Phillip Island (Australia) from February 23th to Match 1st, for the start of the 2020 season

After a great start from the two Yamaha R6 GMT94 which took the lead, Corentin Perolari defended his position hard, allowing Jules to keep the first position for several laps. After hard braking and incredible overtakes , Corentin made the show from one end of the race to the other.

At the top of the timesheet from Friday to Sunday, the GMT94 signed its best weekend in Argentina in the World Supersport Championship !

While the track proved to be clean and in much better condition than the yesterday, the afternoon heat severely hampered the riders, relaying them to nearly 2 seconds of their morning times.

GMT94 riders raced on a dirty track, like never seen before. Lap after lap, pilots have cleaned the track, which was faster at the end of the FP2. After working with used tyres, Corentin made many fast laps and finished first of the day.

All the free practice sessions were held on a very difficult track due to a constant rainfall. The unpredictable weather did not allow the GMT94 riders to find many settings for a dry track.
