Jules Cluzel enters his second season in Moto2 in 2011, remaining with the Forward Racing team – and on board a Suter – with which he took two podiums in 2010, one of those a win at Silverstone.

The Frenchman placed third in the 2004 125cc Honda CBR Junior Cup, and finished runner-up in his domestic 125 championship the following year – making his World Championship debut as a wildcard at the French GP. In 2006 he took on his first full season, in the 250cc class, but he had to wait until the 2009 campaign for his first podium. The switch to Moto2 in 2010 saw Cluzel’s talent flourish and a best-ever World Championship standing of seventh was his reward at the end of the year.
