Unhappy in Grand Prix, Jules Danilo decided to try his luck in WorldSBK, in the World Supersport category which smiles so much on French pilots! The n ° 95 continues his career on a Honda CBR600RR, within the PTR team which shone with Jules Cluzel in the past. Explanations.

Stephane Chambon in 1999 (first world champion!), Fabien Foret in 2002, Sebastien Charpentier in 2005 and 2006, Lucas Mahias in 2017: Supersport is a motorcycle speed discipline in which France has shined for many years..

Even during Sofuoglu’s Turkish era (from 2006 to 2017 AD) interspersed with a few British reigns (Crutchlow, Davies and Lowes), the “Coq Gaulois” continued to sing the Marseillaise on the WSSP podiums, mainly thanks to Jules Cluzel.

"Julo" also holds a record which he would gladly do without: the greatest number of victories for a driver who has never won the title: 17 successes, which is much less than his best enemy Kenan (43) certainly, but more than his sacred compatriots Foret (16), Charpentier (12, like Laverty), Chambon (6) and Mahias (5).

In six seasons, our "Coq Supersportif" has only come out of the World Top 3 once, finishing runner-up on three occasions. Cluzel’s solid track record has inspired another Jules: Danilo, double vice-champion of France in 125 / Moto3 and holder in Grand Prix for five years. !

During these, "Julz" scored 101 points but his hunting roster remained hopelessly blank: zero wins, no podium, no pole position or fastest time in the race. His best place in the world championship is an anonymous 20th place obtained in 2016 (58 points)…

At the inspiration of Cluzel, at the aspi of Mahias and Perolari !

A year ago, the young driver (born May 18, 1995 in Milan, Italy) decided, hoping that the larger size of the prototypes, all equipped with 4-cylinder Honda CBR600RR, would better match his meter seventy-five….

Alas, Danilo did not make more sparks on the handlebars of the Kalex prepared by the SAG team: three 20th places are the best results that our international n ° 95 could record in 2018. Next year , Jules Danilo will therefore follow in the footsteps of Jules Cluzel by joining the Honda PTR team !

Soon 24 years old, "JD" thus intends to bounce back (see the video under the statements!) And relaunch his sports career by partnering with it: it is with this that Cluzel had finished second from his first participation in the championship.
