Marc Marquez predicts a Le Mans MotoGP weekend with “many unknowns” including some weather “surprises”.
Ducati’s domination with five consecutive Le Mans MotoGP wins by five different riders ended in 2025, when Johann Zarco of LCR Honda claimed victory in a rain-affected race.
Although Marc Marquez has been struggling this season, he heads to France with determination to improve his position in the championship standings after a challenging start.
Marquez is currently fifth in the championship, trailing Marco Bezzecchi by 44 points, having faced difficulties in the first four rounds and losing ground to Bezzecchi consistently.
Despite setbacks, Marquez remains optimistic, aiming for a strong performance at the upcoming French MotoGP event, a track he favors and has found success on in the past.
Pecco Bagnaia, Marquez’s teammate, is also hopeful following progress made during the recent testing session, focusing on aerodynamics improvements and electronic tweaks to enhance bike performance.
With the impending weather forecasts predicting potentially challenging conditions, both Ducati riders are eyeing the upcoming race weekend at Le Mans to showcase their competitiveness and make strides towards the front of the pack in the championship standings.
