Jules Cluzel signs for WTR Ten10 Racing team
For its first year of World Supersport participation, the WTR Ten10 Racing Team has signed up Frenchman Jules Cluzel to spearhead its championship attack on one of two Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R machines prepared by the Italian team. Born in 1988 in Montluçon, Cluzel has been a constant presence in 125, 250 and Moto2 since 2006 and has one win and three podiums to his name. The young Frenchman hopes to be a contender in the Supersport category, and is delighted to have signed with the WTR Ten10 Racing Team.


"I am really motivated!", declared Cluzel, "and I'm sure I will tackle this new experience to the best of my possibilities. I really like the idea of taking part in World Supersport, I have the highest possible aims and I'm pleased to be with WTR because I feel they are very motivated as well. In the past I tasted victory in a GP race and it was great, but now I want to win a world title. I have to focus on getting myself into the best possible condition for the first race because I haven't ridden the bike yet and I'll have to change my riding style pretty quickly. I am aware that I made a few errors last season but I can say that you learn from your mistakes: it's all good experience for 2012!"


As well as Cluzel the WTR Ten10 Racing Team will also enter another rider, still to be decided, on a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R machine in World Supersport.
