Race number five of 20 on this year's MotoGP World Championship calendar is just a few hours away, and after the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago, the largest European leg of races in 2024 continues at another venue synonymous with all of motorsport — the Grand Prix de France, from the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans.
Last year's winner Marco Bezzecchi currently lies ninth in the Championship standings, with back-to-back title holder Francesco Bagnaia winning his second of four races in 2024 at the Spanish Grand Prix last time out. Bagnaia, Maverick Vinales and both Marquez brothers crashed out in last year's France Grand Prix, so predicting a winner this time around is a tough ask!
Another one of the longest-running events on the MotoGP calendar, the Grand Prix de France was first held back in 1951, and while it's become synonymous with the iconic Le Mans circuit — being held here intermittently between 1969 and 1995, and every year since 2000 — it's also been hosted previously in Albi, Reims-Gueux, Rouen, Clermont-Ferrand, Nogaro, Magny Cours and at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Marseille.
