CIA Landlord Insurance Honda are delighted to welcome three time World Supersport Championship runner up Jules Cluzel back to the PTR fold for 2017.

Jules will join the re-signed Japanese rider Hikari Okubo and newly signed Robin Mulhauser in the CIA Landlord Insurance squad to contest the World Supersport Championship in 2017 and will be looking to make this his year to lift the Championship crown.

Jules said: “I am really happy to be back on the PTR team because we achieved a really good season in 2012 and we were close to winning the title. I am so excited to be back on the Honda bike with CIA Landlord Insurance and I believe I can be the World Champion. This is my dream and this is my target and I think we can do it so I am really excited. I am also happy to work again with Simon Buckmaster because I have a great relationship with him and I know that it will work so I am looking forward to that also.”

CIA Landlord Insurance Honda Team Manager Simon Buckmaster said: “PTR have returned to winning ways this year with our CIA Landlord Insurance Honda team and we are pleased to announce the return of Jules Cluzel to the team. Jules has been runner up in World Supersport three times and so have we as a team, the last time was with Jules in 2012. Now is the time for Jules and CIA Landlord Insurance Honda to make the final step together. We as a team with Jules will go the extra mile to realise our dream. On behalf of the whole team and CIA Insurance, ‘Welcome back Jules’, we can’t wait for 2017 to get underway.”
