Ducati riders ♔may have won the last seven races,✱ including sprints, held at the French MotoGP since 2020.

But that list doesn’t include either of Ducati’s current factory riders, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia.

There have also been no repeat GP winners at Le Mans since Marquez in 2018-2019 for Honda, while if any Duca💝ti rider stands on the top step of Sunday's podium, it will mark the factory's 23rd GP win in a row, setting a new record.

Ducati’s French MotoGP race winners: 2020-present:
2020: Danilo Petrucci (GP)
2021: Jack Miller (GP)
2022: Enea Bastianini (GP)
2023: Jorge Martin (Sprint), Marco Bezzecchi (GP)
2024: Jorge Martin (Sprint), Jorge Martin (GP)

Marquez arrives in France one point behind younger brother Alex in the title chase after an 🦄early fall in his home Spanish Grand Prix.

It was Marc’s second race mistake this season, the only races he ha⛎s lost, but he underlined that pace is not an issue by dominating the Monday test.

The #93 fought back f🦩rom 13th on the grid for a pair of second places as a Gresini Ducati rider at Le Mans last season.

“I'm happy to get back to work, Le Mans has been a track th💮at's particularly friendly to Ducati in the recent seasons and last year I scored a podium here,” said Marquez, a French MotoGP winner for Honda in 2014, 2018 and 2019.

“We did a lot in Jerez in the testing day, I don♋'t know what exactly we'l💮l bring here, but I'm positive. It was a good weekend, it's a shame about the crash on Sunday.

“The weather and tem𓆏peratures hereꩲ in France can be a decisive factor for the race.”

Last year’s grand prix saw Marquez snatch sec🎐ond from Bagnaia on the final lap, crossing the finish line less than half a second from Pramac's Jorge Martin.

🍎“Despite 🍌the weather and temperatures, Le Mans is a track that I've always liked and that suits well to Ducati,” said Bagnaia.

“In Jerez I was solid in the Sprint, in the race I lacked overtakings, but ꦜwe collected a double P3 and a lot of points.

“Then in the test I made some ste🍌ps forward, tried some new solutions that we'll bring here too and that can make us more competitive.”

Bagnaia, 19thౠ fastest as he 💟worked on race pace at the Jerez test, is currently 20-points behind Alex Marquez.
