French in rhythm
Johann Zarco and Fabio Quartararo lead the dance in this recovery weekend! Thanks to their dominance in yesterday’s sessions, the two drivers should be able to confirm today and go directly to Q2.
After being abandoned in Assen, Quartararo, WHO he will serve a long circuit penalty during the raceabsolutely must revive and not accept too many points for Aleix Espargaro who is the only one 21 points of the French in the classification of drivers. Quartararo won the Grand Prix last year after starting from 3rd place.
