The French MotoGP Grand Prix, which culminated yesterday with the main race, had the highest number of spectators in the history of the championship – 297,471, throughout the entire weekend.
It is the largest attendance ever, surpassing the record also set by the French GP last year (278,805 spectators). This confirms the success that the championship is having in that country, especially with two French riders in the field: Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha) and Johann Zarco (LCR Honda).
Although neither of them is currently in the best moment in terms of results, due to the drop in form of their respective constructors, there were plenty of interesting moments on the track. Both the Sprint race and the main race saw exciting duels at the front. Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati) ended up being the main protagonist, taking pole position with a new record lap, and winning both races.
Fans showed up in large numbers since Thursday, making their presence felt loudly. The organization even offers camping accommodation near the circuit, as well as an entertainment program parallel to the races.
