The distress of Pecco Bagnaia, returning to the pit lane after his fall.
A mistake that could prove to be costly in the long run 💥#FrenchGP ???????? pic.twitter.com/JZ83ic9GYD

In the championship, Fabio Quartararo is still leading the championship, but is only four points ahead of Aleix Espargaro and eight over Bastianini.
Third victory of the season for Bastianini! The Italian is ahead of Miller and Espargaro! Quartararo and Zarco finished just off the podium and scored big points. Very nice Grand Prix in Sarthe!
Enea Bastianini begins her last lap at Le Mans!
There are two rounds left!
- bastianini
- Miller
- Asparagus
- Quarterly
- zarco
Miguel Oliveira falls to 10th position. The KTM rider loses the front in turn 4! Here is Marini 9th and Vinales 10th!
At the head of the race, Bastianini has a 2” lead over Miller. The Espargaro-Quartararo duo is 5”1 behind the Australian. The Frenchman still cannot find the opening against the Aprilia. There are four rounds left!
The fall of Bagnaia! Another mistake for the Italian, who cracks under pressure from Bastianini. Big disappointment for the winner of the last Spanish Grand Prix! Fabio Quartararo is now 4th, fighting for the podium!

What a mistake from Bagnaia! The Italian passes by Bastianini, before taking back control of the race. But he veered wide and let Bastianini take control of the race.
Earlier than expected! 😮@PeccoBagnaia bite back! GAME ON! ⚔️#FrenchGP ???????? pic.twitter.com/kwELWTeYNU

There are 8 rounds left! Here is the ranking in the 20th round:
- bagnaia
- bastianini
- Miller
- Asparagus
- Quarterly
- zarco
- Miller
- Nakagami
- Binder
- Olive tree
Jack Miller is now two seconds from the lead of the race. He is only 8 tenths ahead of Espargaro. Quartararo is 5th, still, and fails to really attack the Spaniard in front of him.
Jorge Martin makes a mistake too! It's terrible for the Martinator, which is definitely in difficulty... It's hard, while during this time, Enea Bastianini is in 2nd position. As a reminder, the two men are chasing a Ducati handlebar in the official team.
Johan Zarco passes Marquez for 6th place! The French are 5th and 6th!
The differences are fixed for the moment. There are 11 rounds left!
Disaster for Suzuki! After Alex Rins, it was Joan Mir who made the mistake. The Spaniard lost the front in the junction corner. Quartararo rises to 5th place!
Quartararo is back in the wheel of Aleix Espargaro, while Zarco shows himself alongside Marquez. The two French people are fighting respectively for 5th and 7th position.
That's it ! Bastianini forced the traffic jam and now finds himself in 2nd position after overtaking Jack Miller. He now sets out in pursuit of Francesco Bagnaia. Half a second apart between the two men.
Jack Miller must defend against Bastianini. Big defenses when braking from the Australian.
The Beast is on the prowl! ⚠️@jackmilleraus has @ Bestia23 breathing down his neck! 👀#FrenchGP ???????? pic.twitter.com/7gUFWglIG3
