The last meeting in Assen in WSS was mixed to say the least for the GMT94 troops. They certainly came back with places of honor but that is not the objective assigned this year by their Chief General Christophe Guyot. Quite far from expectations since the start of the campaign, Federico Caricasulo leaves the French box. Valentin Debise, whose tests at Carole on the azure R6 had proved encouraging, arrives. A change which will be effective from the round in the Czech Republic on the new Most route.
It's official, Valentine Debise replace Federico Caricasulo in the tricolor team GMT94 during the fifth round of the WorldSSP calendar in Most. This is a separation by mutual agreement, we can read on the official website of the WSBK. Load it had been recruited to titillate Jules cluzel who was delighted with this healthy emulation coming from the old rival on the R6 Bardahl. A superb one that the Italian has never really demonstrated, a pole position at Estoril being his only highlight. Currently 12th overall, he struggled to make people forget Perolari which he replaced. Another tricolor arrives in its place: Valentin Debise.
We will recall that Debise leads both the French Supersport and Superbike Championships. He had already won the wildcard offered by the GMT94, the FFM and Yamaha France for the event at Magny-Cours scheduled for September 3 to 5. Old 29 years, Debise also passed its first test under the colors of the structure led by Christophe Guyot at Circuit Carole at the beginning of the month where we were present. Moreover, Debise competed in a German Championship race on the Czech track, which is new to the world championship, which constitutes a valuable advantage.
Debise moves to the front line earlier than expected
« We wish the best to Federico with whom we shared very good times ", said Christophe Guyot, Team Manager of GMT94. “ We are delighted that Valentin will be able to experience the World Championship Yamaha R6 in racing conditions, after his test on the Carole circuit in July. He will therefore arrive with perfect preparation for the French round of WorldSBK at Magny-Cours. "
Debise, who will return to WorldSSP for the first time since Losail 2014, adds: “ It’s really great to have this opportunity. I have been working hard for several seasons to show my potential at world level. I am aware of the very high level that awaits me, so this will allow me to prepare as best as possible for the WorldSSP in Magny-Cours.. "
