In a dramatic 2021 French GP, Marc Marquez return to the battle for victory

Pol Espargaro faced all conditions in the first flag-to-flag race since 2017, while Marc Marquez returned to the top of the standings but was eventually disappointed.

The 2021 French Grand Prix on Sunday would be a day of two halves, with a rainy morning giving way to a seemingly sunny and lovely afternoon. However, dark clouds loomed in the distance as the MotoGP grid took to the track for the 27-lap race, with Marc Marquez starting sixth. After only a few laps, the bright sky vanished as clouds crept in and soon opened, with the entire MotoGP field pulling into the pits on lap five to change dry bikes for wet ones as the rain began.

Marc Marquez turned his early race speed into the race lead as he returned to the track from pit lane after a flawless run into the pits and subsequent bike swap. Marquez maintained his comfortable lead until a highside at the final turn dropped the eight-time World Champion to the ground. With more than half the race still to go, Marquez remounted to see what he could do.

Marquez began to work his way up and into the points by setting the fastest laps on the track. Marquez’s run in the French GP was cut short after a second fall, this time at Turn 6. Despite the fact that he was unharmed, he was upset with the ultimate outcome after showing so much potential.

The MotoGP World Championship will now travel to Mugello for the Gran Premio d’Italia Oakley before the Catalan Grand Prix the following weekend. Both sides of the Repsol Honda Team garage are committed to delivering on the potential they demonstrated at Le Mans.

Marc Márquez, NC: “I’m disappointed with today, we weren’t able to profit from the special situation where normally we feel really comfortable. The positive is that we showed our speed today, even after the crash I was able to be fast on the bike. It’s true that we didn’t use the opportunity that the weather gave to us. The first crash we had can happen in the wet, maybe the tyre was a little cold, but I am more disappointed with the second crash. It was not the time to crash again but we keep learning. Maybe I wasn’t fully concentrated on the track conditions, I was thinking more about changing back to slicks and I arrived at Turn 6 too fast and fell. This is very disappointing. In a normal dry weekend, I know it would be harder, we’re happy with our performance of the weekend but not happy about Sunday because it was not the best Marc on track.”
