Repsol Honda Team primed for French GP
Round five presents another weekend of opportunity for the #repsolhondateam as #marcmarquez and #polespargaro arrive ready and rested after a grueling Spanish GP.
It's off to the #lemans circuit in #france for the fifth chapter of the 2021 #motogp World Championship. Best known for hosting the 24-hour race, the French track has been a happy hunting ground for the #repsolhondateam in recent years. In 2019, #marcmarquez claimed Honda's 300th premier class win as he took his first back-to-back wins of the season. Then in 2020, rookie Alex Marquez put on a masterful wet-weather performance to earn his debut #motogp podium in #repsolhondateam colours.
Marc Marquez's return to Jerez was an overall positive as he reduced the distance to the race winner after a complicated weekend. Continuing this trend of closing the gap to the front is again Marquez's primary objective for the weekend as his recovery and return to competition moves forward. In previous visits to #lemans Marquez has achieved four podium finishes, including three wins.
After a busy but productive one-day test in Jerez, #polespargaro arrives in #france with an even deeper understanding of the Repsol Honda RC213V. Working through a number of options across the Monday helped the 2013 Moto2 World Champion improve the overall feel of his Honda. The #lemans circuit has produced some of Espargaro's most consistent results in the premier class with five top ten finishes and a podium from seven visits. With weather almost always an unpredictable element in #lemans, round five may also present Espargaro with his first chance of running on the Honda in the wet.
Action at the French GP begins at 09:55 Local Time on Friday, May 14 with Free Practice 1 for the #motogp class. The 27-lap premier class Grand Prix around the 4.2-kilometre-long circuit will commence at 14:00 Local Time on Sunday, May 16. Rain is currently forecast throughout the weekend in #france, but it won't dampen the spirits of the #repsolhondateam.
