Race resume

After a fight with the leading group, Jules Cluzel ends 4th of the World Supersport race in Portimao. After a great warm-up, Jules was aiming for a podium.

The week-end was going well, until this difficult QP. Jules Cluzel started the session with a one stop strategy, but has been often blocked in the traffic. His ideal time showed a 1’44, which would allow him to be on the front row.

The first session of the day took place at 11.30 a.m. (local time), under the sun and a high temperature. After two long runs, Jules Cluzel ends at the second position (+0.2). Corentin Perolari had some issues with his clutch, but finishes 9th of the FP1.

After two months of break, the two GMT94 Yamaha R6 will be back on Portimao track (Portugal), for the 10th round of the World Superbike Championship. This week-end is the last one before GMT94 heads to Magny-Cours (France), on September 27th-29th.

After a stunning week end in Donington and a real domination, Jules Cluzel ended it with his second victory of the season. This race helps GMT94 and Jules Cluzel to forget the frustration of QP, where it was possible to do a lot better than a 4th place.

It has been a great day for the rider of the Yamaha 16 who finishes with the best lap time of the day. Jules has been able to have a good rhythm with many laps in 1’30 – 1’31, and the best speed. Tomorrow will be cooler, opponents are strong, so the qualification practice will be interesting to follow.

After a great FP3 under the rain, with the first and 8th position for Jules Cluzel and Corentin Perolari, the track was completly dry for the QP.
