Pramac’s Jorge Martin topped the second practice for the MotoGP French Grand Prix with a new lap record as Marc Marquez dropped into Q1 after a scrappy session.
Setting the pace in FP1, Martin continued that form in the hour-long second session at Le Mans with a new lap record of 1m30.388s. The championship leader headed Francesco Bagnaia on the factory team Ducati from Tech3 rookie Pedro Acosta, while Fabio Quartararo made it through to Q2 in front of his home fans. Saturday morning’s Q1 qualifying session will see several big names taking part, that list headlined by eight-time world champion Marc Marquez.
Getting over the line with a second to spare before the chequered flag, Marquez set the fastest first sector of anyone. But he ran wide at Turn 6 and had to abort the lap, leaving down in 13th. Binder’s third crash of the day left him in 17th ahead of Honda’s leading runner Joan Mir.
