Johann Zarco has pole position for the MotoGP French Grand Prix from the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans. The race is set for bright and early Sunday morning, beginning at 8 a.m. ET and broadcast by beIN Sports in the United States
Zarco set a lap record of 1:31.185 for his qualifying run, barely nudging Marc Marquez off provisional pole for first place on the starting grid. Live streaming for Sunday’s action can be had via fuboTV or beIN Sports Connect.
Marquez is the current points leader with two wins over the past two races — in the United States and Spain — and a second-place finish in the opener in Qatar. Marquez has 70 points, well clear of Zarco in second with 58 points.
Zarco had three podiums in his 2017 rookie season, but no race wins. This year, he already has two podiums, but is still searching for that win. He took second in Argentina and Spain.
Italian Danilo Petrucci qualified in third position on his Ducati. Marquez rides a Honda while Zarco rides a Yamaha. The second row is made up of Andrea Iannone, Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo. The third row is Jack Miller, Maverick Vinales and Valentino Rossi.
