Jules Cluzel was the one who returned MV Agusta back to the top of an international motorcycling podium for the first time since Giacomo Agostini last won for the manufacturer in 1968.

It was also a relief for Cluzel after a tough season with Suzuki in WSBK in 2013.  Cluzel had a tough opening to the season with testing not going to plan, saying in the press conference that it was a ‘disaster’.  He, however fought hard in the World Supersport race – a race that was split in two after a bike left oil on the track.

The second part of the race was a five lap thriller, Cluzel started fifth – and the four riders in front could not deny the Frenchman.

We talk about the race, what it means to win for MV and his hopes for 2014.
