The MotoGP French Grand Prix qualifying ended with a good result for Jorge Martín and Francesco Bagnaia… but neither of them had the ending they would have wanted on the track.
After setting a record lap time as the first rider to go under 1m29s at the Le Mans circuit, Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati) suffered a crash at turn four with about three minutes to go.
Less than a minute later, it was Bagnaia (Ducati), who had set the second fastest time, who crashed. The incident occurred at turn nine.
Neither of the riders suffered significant physical injuries and, a few minutes later, they appeared as usual for the official interviews. You can see the crashes below.
