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 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.

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.

After an excellent weekend, the GMT94 team is still in Aragón for another round of the World Supersport Championship. During the FP1 big changes have been prepared for Jules and Corentin. After many laps, the two GMT94 riders preferred to go back to the settings of the previous weekend.

In this very special 2020 year, the World Supersport Championship has stayed on the Aragon circuit for a second round in a row. This beginning of the week was the occasion for the GMT94 Yamaha team to analyse the data from the races of Jules and Corentin.

It was after a race under high pressure that Jules Cluzel managed to take 2nd place. By finishing with two seconds to go, Jules was one second closer to the winner than yesterday. The pace was frantic for the leading riders.
