The French GP was full of chaos due to the challenges that the weather conditions posed to the riders, but this did not cloud the judgment of Johann Zarco who won at home, something that had not happened for 71 years! This was the rider’s second victory in MotoGP!

The suspense for what would happen in this French GP was great since after two races in dry conditions the rain threatened to fall heavily right at the start of the MotoGP.

During the sighting lap the intensity increased and the doubt and uncertainty in the eyes of theriders and team leaders was great, always anticipating any scenario.

Even before the start of the race, the white flag was shown, allowing the riders to enter the pitlane to change MotoGP gear.

The Race Direction, after the Warm Up lap and after the white flag, even showed the red flag given the high number of riders at the pitlane exit, which forced a restart of activities and the postponement of the opening of the pitlane until 15:08 local time. The race would therefore have one less lap, bringing the total to 26.

However, the weather was playing tricks, as the rain was beginning to ease off. It was still expected that the riders would go out on the track with rain tires.

Even before the pitlane opened, the race was considered wet, meaning there was no need to show the white flag, and riders could change bikes whenever they wanted, if they wished.

Fabio Quartararo took pole position yesterday, with Marc Márquez in second and Álex Márquez completing the front row of the grid. Fermín Aldeguer was fourth, Maverick Viñales fifth and Pecco Bagnaia sixth.

A real game of chess and mentality at Le Mans, with many riders in the pitlane on slicks – like Marc Márquez for example – while others were on the track with wet tyres.

It is important to mention that any rider who leaves the grid and starts the Warm Up lap from the pitlane will start from their original grid position but will then have to serve two Long Laps, which is precisely the case for the riders above.

Disastrous start for Bagnaia who fell with Joan Mir, while Marc Márquez had a strong start, in the lead, with Aldeguer fighting for third place with Álex Márquez. The Frenchman from Yamaha, who took pole position, would end up getting the better of Marc for now, with Álex in third, Aldeguer in fourth and Pedro Acosta in fifth.

For now, the bet on slicks seemed to pay off.

It is worth noting that Álex and Marc Márquez, Ai Ogura, Aldeguer, Fabio Di Giannantonio, Acosta, Mir, Brad Binder, Raúl Fernández, Enea Bastianini, Franco Morbidelli and Quartararo, the race leader, in addition to Viñales will have to follow the Long Lap pair. Bagnaia, in the meantime, I’m going to the garage to change my bike.

Riders were starting to get into the long laps in the meantime, with Bestia, Viñales, Morbidelli, Quartararo and others being some of the first to do just that, as were Ogura, Fernández. Aldeguer, Marc Márquez, and DiGia followed.

With that, Á. Márquez was in front, with the immense confusion. Marc Márquez was second, Aldeguer was third, Viñales was fourth and Binder was fifth.

Marc Márquez was at the front of the race now, with Quartararo in second, Binder was third, Acosta fourth and Á. Marquez.

Disaster knocked on Quartararo’s door, who crashed, as did Binder.

With five laps of chaos, Marc Márquez was leading ahead of Álex, with Aldeguer in third.

Bastianini was the next to fall, just before Aldeguer took the lead in the race, while DiGia reached fifth position.

The Márquez brothers meanwhile went to the garage to change bikes, feeling that the slicks were no longer worth it, with Digia in second, and Lorenzo Savadori, Aprilia test rider, in third!

With seven laps completed, Johann Zarco was in the lead ahead of Miguel Oliveira, with the Frenchman leading by 4s over the Portuguese, who is, it is worth remembering, back in MotoGP after several weeks away. Marc Márquez was third.

Oliveira a couple of laps later was unable to stay on the podium and was beaten by Marc and Álex Márquez, with 16 laps remaining.

Zarco arrived halfway through the race in the lead and with a large advantage, precisely 10.064s over Marc, Álex was third, Acosta fourth and Oliveira fifth.

This is what the top ten looked like so far:

Soon after, Viñales moved up to fifth position at the expense of Oliveira, with Aldeguer seeing the Portuguese rider 2.530s behind. Zarco extended his lead over Marc Márquez by 1s.

The race was progressing at a good pace and with nine laps to go Oliveira found himself unable to hold off Aldeguer who finished sixth; Takaaki Nakagami was 3.073s behind the Portuguese.

Nakagami would end up beating #88 who, a couple of laps later, lost the rear of his bike and crashed at turn 14, fortunately without any serious consequences. He was looking, above all, to recover his best feelings and have time on the bike after a long absence. And shortly after, it was Álex Márquez’s turn to fall as well.

The Spaniard would eventually rejoin the race, with Acosta now in third place. Álex was sixth, behind Viñales.

With five laps to go, Zarco was leading by 16.5s over Marc Márquez, Acosta was 28.1s behind, Aldeguer was fourth and Viñales remained in fifth position.

A couple of laps later Á. Márquez fell to the ground again and thus ended his race.

The one in danger of missing out on his first podium of the season was Acosta, with Aldeguer just 0.264s behind. The overtaking would be confirmed in the third sector of the 25th lap.

The win was right there and Zarco took it, deserving it completely, making an historic feat!!
