Máximo Quiles put on a masterclass of riding in wet conditions at Le Mans. The CFMOTO Aspar Team rider has achieved his third victory of the year after just five races. The Spaniard led from start to finish and crossed the finish line with a lead of almost two seconds.

Just as the forecasts had predicted, the rain made sure it didn’t miss the Moto3 race at the French Grand Prix. The riders in the lightweight class hadn’t had a chance to ride in wet conditions this weekend, which is why the race was shortened to thirteen laps. Máximo Quiles, who started from the front row of the grid, showed great form from the moment the lights went out, taking the lead and holding it until he crossed the finish line. The CFMOTO Aspar Team rider rode with great confidence, aware of the importance of not making any mistakes. Despite having little experience in wet conditions, Quiles built up a lead of two and a half seconds over his pursuers. With this victory, his second in a row this year, the Spaniard still hasn't left the podium and leaves Le Mans with a 46-point lead in the overall standings.

His team-mate Marco Morelli also got off to a good start and quickly moved into third place. The Argentine held onto a podium position and tried to stay close to his rivals, although the track conditions, combined with the low temperatures, made riding difficult. Halfway through the race, the CFMOTO Aspar Team rider crashed in the final corners and, although he was able to continue, found himself at the back of the field. Morelli didn’t give up and fought his way back up the field to finish in thirteenth place, continuing to pick up points in the Moto3 standings, where he currently sits sixth with 48 points.

The riders in the intermediate class completed one of the shortest races in Moto2 memory. After the race was shortened to 14 laps due to the weather conditions, Dani Holgado and David Alonso started the race determined to stay in the leading spots. The Spaniard suffered a heavy crash on the first lap, but just when it seemed his race was over, a red flag gave him the chance to return to the garage. The CFMOTO Aspar Team did a great job to get Holgado ready for the restart, and managed to do so just seconds before the pit lane exit closed. From this point onwards, with the race once again shortened to nine laps, Holgado had to contend not only with the difficult conditions but also with physical discomfort caused by the heavy impact. Holgado gave it his all to finish in eleventh place and secure some vital points, but he was disqualified for starting the race without the front fender.Meanwhile, his team-mate David Alonso ended Sunday on a high note after having to battle throughout the weekend with physical discomfort in his right shoulder. The Colombian benefited from the reduction in laps as he was able to push harder in the early laps without putting too much strain on his body. The CFMOTO Aspar Team rider made up positions and even tried to catch the rider in fourth place, but due to the high risk of crashing, he opted to secure fifth place.
