Johann Zarco lead a French 1-2 at the top of the timesheets in MotoGP FP2 ahead of his home race in the final practice session on Friday for the French Grand Prix at Le Mans, round five of the championship.

A short way into the Spanish GP, it looked like Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) was going to be heading into his home Grand Prix with three wins in a row and a nice cushion of points at the top of the Championship. But the course of true racing never did run smooth, and arm pump put paid to that as Jack Miller (Ducati Lenovo Team) swept through to take an emotional first win in red.

AUSSIE Jack Miller stormed to a commanding victory under the Andalucian sunshine in yesterday’s Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez de la Frontera.
Miller took advantage of a stellar qualifying and powered his Desmosedici GP21 from third spot on the grid past pole sitter and championship leader Quartararo and led for the first two laps.
Quartararo dropped to fourth but kept his cool and quickly dispatched Miller’s team mate Pecco Bagnaia and satellite Yamaha rider Franco Morbidelli before claiming the lead entering lap four.
The young Frenchman stretched out a 1.5 second lead for the next four laps, making use of the clear track in front of him as the two Ducati’s and Yamaha battled behind.
