When Andrea Dovizioso came out of surgery on his left collarbone, broken after a fall in a motocross competition, the doctor in charge of the situation declared that motorcycle racers had something special. He therefore had no doubt about the speed of his convalescence and his presence at the Grand Prix in Jerez, scheduled a few weeks later. With this revelation from Jules Cluzel, this exceptional will and this ability to never give in in the face of pain is confirmed. The Frenchman admits it today: he spent no less than five years suffering martyrdom...
When Jules cluzel left the world of Grands Prix, he revealed himself in WSS where he has been a subscriber to the title race since 2012. And since 2017, he has never done worse than third in this championship where he was vice-world champion in 2012, 2014 and 2016.
A health walk? Nope. It would even be the path to Calvary. On the airwaves of the official site of the category, he admits thus: “ I spent five years suffering torture, crying after the sessions because it hurt. Nobody saw it on the track, but I really suffered. Nobody saw it on the track, but I really suffered from it. It was a complicated period. I avoided all travel… it was very long and very hard. ».
“I cried at the end of every practice session »
« Frankly, I didn't enjoy that period because I was in too much pain. People didn't know it, because that was my will. I protected my work, but today, having the selector on the right and no longer having pain allows me to work even better than before. In Carole, there are only right turns and the right selector doesn't bother me at all... » assures the tricolor who holds the record for this track.
The rider of the Yamaha Christophe Guyot who is recovering from a violent fall on this same route, therefore approaches the rest of this season with more serenity than the previous ones. And for 2021? “My manager Eric Mahé talks about it with Christophe Guyot. I know this is a difficult time for everyone. As far as I am concerned, and as a competitor, I will not give up, both this year and for the next ". It will be recalled thatEric Mahe is also the manager of fabio quartararo.
