Pole potential from Honda in France

TVESA MAKES CUT

Le Mans, France: The most dramatic Qualifying of the year produced a rollercoaster of emotion for the Repsol Honda

Team as both Marc Marquez and Pol Espargaro challenged

for pole position. Rain just before the start of Free Practice 3 meant the participants for Q2 were already

set, Marc Marquez and Pol Espargaro holding their places in the top ten. The weather

would dictate much of Saturday’s action as sporadic showers left the Le Mans circuit

damp throughout the day. The morning’s wet conditions suited Marc Marquez well, able

to show his speed without stressing his still-recovering body. Marquez’s performance in

Free Practice three saw him end the penultimate practice session on top, marking the first session he has led since Warm Up at the 2020 Spanish

Grand Prix.
