Jules Danilo: at the edge of the best Moto3 riders

Somewhat eclipsed by the exceptional Fabio Quartararo, Jules Danilo is the only other French rider involved in Moto3. His results are steadily rising, so Honda is honoring him alongside other official riders. Spotlight.

2012 French vice-champion in Moto3, Jules Danilo sharpened his weapons in the Spanish championship … like a certain person. But unlike his – our! – compatriot titled two years in a row in CEV, he has never won: his best result is a 5th place in Aragon during his only season in 2013 with VDS…

Invited to then replace Danny Webb in Germany and the United States the same year in Grand Prix at Ambrigio Racing, this team entrusted him with one of their Mahindra MGP3O for the. Teammate of promising Brad Binder, Jules only once entered the points: 14th in Aragon.

The young Frenchman (born May 18, 1995) changes his mount, now driving a Honda NSF250RW prepared by the Ongetta-Rivacold team alongside a great hope of Italian motorcycle speed: Niccolo Antonelli. Despite this great promotion, our chick foal is still struggling to score points.

"In 2014, I had a very difficult year on a competing motorcycle", relates" Julz "on the,"and the following year I think I was putting too much pressure on myself because I had a good team, a good bike and I wanted to do well".

While his teammate at n ° 23 begins to circle around the Top 5, n ° 95 lacks composure and too often ends up on the ground: "I ran into the first three races, I finished one race 12th, Editor’s note), then I fell again".

Aware that he lets go "stupidly points out the window", Jules then tries to reach the finish line, even out of the points. According to him, this experience gained within a team where a good atmosphere reigns should allow him to have a good 2015 season….

Still a member of the Honda Ongetta-Rivacold team, Danilo finished 11th in the opening race … won by Antonelli, proof if necessary that the equipment of the Frenchman and his "hare" is efficient! Jules then constantly fights for the Top 10.

It is according to him in Assen that a decisive click intervenes: "I now have a lot of confidence in my brakes", Jules analyzes for Honda."I brake much harder and overtaking is easy. I am also able to ride more consistently and it benefits me even more when racing".

His magnificent fight against the Italian riders during the memorable event illustrates how our second representative in Moto 3 – the third, Alexis Masbou, – had progressed. "This stuff we found up front gives me the extra confidence to brake harder in the corners."… in the dry as in the wet, obviously !

Qualifying 7th and 12th on the starting grids of the German and Czech Republic Grand Prix, the native of Milan – who lives in Barcelona – was finally delighted with his 9th and 11th places obtained in the rain, "under these conditions which are very rarely favorable to me !".

Currently fourteenth in the championship, "JD95" totals 46 points: it is four times more than for the whole of the 2015 season, and it is – above all – only 6 points less than the double champion CEV Quartararo. And naturally, Jules does not intend to stop there: he aims for the world title !

"I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t", he deduces logically!"To become champion of the three categories, knowing that MotoGP is the best, I think it’s every rider’s dreamIn addition to being – more and more – fast, Jules is clever: the "Dream" is precisely what guides the Japanese manufacturer with whom, we can hope, it will roll for a long time and far? stay connected !
