While he was ending a good lap with a new tyre, Jules Cluzel crashed and ended his session on it. The bike had too damages, and rules do not allow a second bike as MotoGP.

Weather was perfect and the sun was shining when World Supersport 600 started their sessions. The first pick of tyres made by GMT94 riders was not the best in FP1, which has been corrected in FP2 with a harder tyre.

GMT94 team is well arrived on Jerez track with its new truck, which will allow the squad to work in optimized conditions.

Jules Cluzel didn’t come in Circuit Carole since 14 years, and rediscovered the track with his Yamaha R6. Gear selector test has been made, in order to have a riding style more precise. Test have also been done on engine break and rear brake. Indeed, Jules doesn’t have a strong rear brake since he has the gear selector on the ride side.

Rain was announced, but it is in dry conditions the Supersport race took place, in Imola (Italy). After a great start, Jules Cluzel was first during many laps. Unfortunately, when Jules was fighting for top positions, an opponent hit him which obliged the GMT94 rider to go into gravels.

The 5th qualification of the year took place with a nice sun and perfect temperatures. Jules Cluzel fought for the pole position, before crashing during his fastest lap. The rider of the Yamaha number 16 will start from third position on the grid tomorrow.

It all started well for Corentin Perolari in FP1. He discovered a very difficult track and ended the session in 12th position. A great performance he wanted to improve by starting the FP2 session. A brutal high-side followed by a percussion with the bike of Randy Krummenacher who could not avoid Corentin’s Yamaha R6, caused concern in GMT94’s box.

GMT94 Yamaha mechanics arrived on Tuesday, set-up the box and prepared the bike on Wednesday. Christophe and Rémi were at different meetings with DORNA (WorldSBK promotor) in order to promote the French round in Magny-Cours on September 27-29th. 

Corentin Perolari did a lot of laps on the Circuit Carole in order to be ready for the next race in Imola (Italy). Our partners Zoreole and Acorus were also there and got some images for a video game.
