Second consecutive podium for Jules Cluzel. Third last Sunday during the inaugural weekend in Aragon (Spain), the Montluçonnais rider (Yamaha) was once again on the third step of the podium, this Saturday, in Estoril (Portugal), for the second meeting of the season in Supersport.
A podium (the 55th of his career in this category) that the Team GMT-94 rider snatched (for 15 thousandths) from the nose and beard of Swiss Dominique Aegerter (Yamaha) in the final straight. “The last lap was very hard on Aegerter. He passed me on the first corner. Then he missed the rope, I tried to come back but lost some time. I came back, I tried to pass it. He redoubled me. Finally, I waited for the last corner to pass it, said the Auvergnat at the finish. Third is the best I could do today. “
Starting in 4th position on the starting line, Jules Cluzel has never succeeded in placing an attack on the two best drivers this Saturday on the Portuguese circuit: Steven Odendaal (Evan Bros. WorldSSP Team), who won his third victory in as many races this season, and Philipp Oettl (Kawasaki).
After this second consecutive podium, the Montluçonnais is fifth in the general classification (32 points), 43 units behind the man at the start of the season: the South African Steven Odendaal.
Next meeting for the drivers of the Supersport category, this Sunday, still on the Estoril circuit, for the second meeting of the weekend.
