Bagnaia gives Ducati its first pole at Le Mans
The least we can is that the qualifying for this French GP was hot! There were several who took the lead in the standings, but it was ultimately Francesco Bagnaia who got the last word with a new lap record at Le Mans in 1'30.450.
The Italian will start from pole position for the second time in a row after Jerez ahead of his teammate Jack Miller and the Aprilia RS-GP of Aleix Espargaro. fabio quartararo tried everything to make it three at Le Mans (three poles in a row), but the world champion ultimately had to settle for the fourth time, just over two tenths from Bagnaia's benchmark.

On the second row, he will be accompanied by Enea Bastianini and Johann Zarco, author of the sixth time (the Frenchman however hampered Pol Espargaro during the session and could well be sanctioned).
Joan Mir, who also went through Q1, leads the Suzuki clan in seventh position ahead of Alex Rins and Jorge Martin, who had to go through Q1. Marc Marquez places the first Honda in 10th place ahead of his counterparts from the winged manufacturer, Pol Espargaro and Takaaki Nakagami.
