Jules Cluzel confirmed with WTR Ten 10 World Supersport team

The rumors that Jules Cluzel would be heading for the World Supersport championship and ride for debuting WTR Ten 10 Racing Team have now been officially confirmed.
The 23-year old French rider secured the Supersport ride after spending five years in GP racing (125cc, 250cc and Moto2 classes) and will be riding one of the Italian-Indian team’s Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.

“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!”The team has yet to announce who will be the second rider.
