Surprising race, that of Le Mans, for all classes of MotoGP. First of all, no rain, and that is already quite atypical for Le Mans. For the rest, the race was complicated, full of crashes and twists that were not always pleasant.
Alex Rins crashed while fighting with the best. Same thing for Aldeguer, while Gonzalez struggled to get close to the top ten.
Much better went to Aron Canet, on the podium after another spectacular race as a protagonist.
The appointment is for Mugello, one of our home races. We are all waiting for you, strictly on motorcycles. Mugello, with a Nolan or an X-Lite, is even more beautiful to experience, both on and off the track. Se you there!

ALEX RINS: DNF
"Luckily, I’m OK. If you run off at that corner, like I did, it can be very easy to get hit by another rider - thankfully the guys avoided me and nothing bad happened. I had already recovered some positions and I felt strong, but when I was behind Pecco (Bagnaia) I think I got a little bit more slipstream pulling me into the corner. When I was in the gravel I was just trying to keep the bike upright, but as I exited I was at a slight angle and that caused me to crash. As soon as the lights went out I pushed to be at the front, and I know my potential for good results in the next races is high."

ARON CANET: 2nd
"My feelings have not been very good for a while, but getting this podium is very nice and this is my best season in the world so far in my career. It was difficult because the rear of the bike was not at 100%. with the best settings, but we managed to get on the podium once again, the fourth of the season and I'm happy."
MANUEL GONZALEZ: 11th
"I don't know what to say! It has been like a rollercoaster. I had a bad feeling during the Warm Up, so we changed the bike a lot for the race to find something new. Still, I started the race with a lot of confidence. I like this track. My start was good, but in the first corner another rider pushed me wide and I lost a lot of positions. The race was very long, pushing was hard.
A lot of riders crashed but I had a good pace and good control over the bike. I'm incredibly happy with this result!"
