Le Mans MotoGP Riders & Teams

Marc Marquez has enjoyed a tremendous run in the MotoGP calendar recently. However, his success at the French Grand Prix has been limited and the last two years have only been able to add to the slender number of victories he has achieved. As a 26-year-old who has been able to pick up a win in the last two editions of the Le Mans France MotoGP, he can do better.

Even though this race happens to take place on French soil, Spaniards have been more successful at this track than any other nationality in recent times. Casey Stoner is the only non-Spanish rider to have picked up a victory at this event since 2009. Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo have shared successes over the last few years, while Maverick Viñales also picked up a win in 2017. Even though these riders have not been able to dominate the Riders’ Standings, they can be a good pick for camping towards a victory.

Honda has been able to claim a victory at this event for the last three years. Previously, Yamaha was also in a dominating position. Considering the amazing superiority shown by Honda in the Manufacturers’ Standings over a few years now, it is difficult to envisage a team other than the Japanese winning this event. Ducati has been able to make it to the podium on a couple of occasions – like in 2015 – but they have not been consistent enough on this demanding circuit. This year’s race did show a significant improvement with Andrea Dovizioso and Danilo Petrucci finishing in the second and third places.
