Estoril love story… that’s what Jules Cluzel is dreaming of in Portugal this weekend, marking the third of the twelve stages of the 2022 edition of the MotoGP Supersport (World SSP) World Championships. But the relationship is not so simple.
Context
At the moment, that great event between the 33-year-old Moto Club pilot Montluçon (Allier) and this new season isn’t happening. After his first mixed heat in Spain – 19th place in the first race; 6th place in race -2 – could hardly have done better during the second round in the Netherlands with 4th place and retirement.
As a result, Jules Klozel, who rides for Team Yamaha’s GMT94, is already behind in the overall standings. Ninth out of twenty-three riders (23 points), seen away from the captain and defending champion, Swiss Dominic Eggerter (1st, 95 points; ten Kit Racing Yamaha).

ambitions
In conclusion, Jules Closel still has time but he shouldn’t lose too much of it. “I want a lot better but I have to be patient,” said the vice triple world champion in the class last April in the Netherlands.
The problem is that the Lusitania circuit in Estoril did not witness the brilliance of Auvernat during its last visit, in 2020, with the ninth place … But who knows, in the valiant Kluzel, nothing is impossible.
