2021 French MotoGP, Le Mans - Free Practice (2) Results
Home sta💖rs Zarco and Quartararo lea🍸d the way during a dry Free Practice 2 for the French MotoGP at Le Mans.
After a damp track in the morning ☂session, which saw some slicks appear in the final ten minutes, FP2 took place on a fully dry track but with forecasts of more rain on Saturday morning, riders knew this afternoon's session might well decide direct access to Qualifying 2.
That pressure to push - combined with low temperatures - contributed to a sp⛄ate of accidents, with Aprilia's Espargaro and then Ducati w🅷orld championship leader Bagnaia early front-end fallers on entry to the notorious Turn 3 chicane, a stunned Espargaro then falling again at the very same corner soon after.
Quartararo, riding for the 🏅first time since arm-pump surgery on his right forearm and fastest from the start of FP2 until Zarco's attack in the final minute, also joined the Turn 3 fallers club at the midway stage of the sessiဣon, then Rins in the closing stages.
Morning leader Miller bucked the Turn 3 trend by sliding off at Turn 7 and&ꦰnbsp;world champion Mir at Turn 8, where Marc Marquez ran off track but remained upright.
Injured rookie Jorge Martin is again replaced by ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚRaba🍌t. Marquez, sidelined for nine months after complications to a broken right arm at Jerez last July, is taking part in his third event since returning to MotoGP action.
Lecuona has a three-second time penalty for the race after causing a crash, with Alex Marquez, at Jerez.
