From ignition delay… It is indeed an understatement to say that the 2022 season for Jules Cluzel (32 years old) did not get off to a flying start in the Supersport World Championship. After three stages out of twelve, the Team GMT94 driver, originally from Montluçon (Allier), is in a modest thirteenth place. Well below his status as triple vice-world champion in the category (2012, 2014, 2016). Also, while the fourth round will take place this weekend of June 10, 11 and 12 on the Misano track (Italy), he hopes to finally be able to fuel.
Jules, what do you think of this start to the season?
Jules Cluzel: “We are late. We lack preparation with the team in relation to the new regulations [sur le poids minimum des motos] and we find ourselves in trouble. A fall and mechanical trouble in Portugal?; in Assen I got hit in the first race then I had a gearbox problem in the other… It’s starting to do a lot. »

JC: ” I do not have any. Frankly, I don’t give a damn about the general. The objective is already to regain good positions, to get back on the podiums and to regain the performance of the end of last season. »
