Even my great friend from Yorkshire did not think to place a bet on Danilo Petrucci’s magnificent win at Le Mans. A beautiful moment as the French Grand Prix winner speaks to his mum for the first time after taking his second premier class win. Petrucci’s second ever Grand Prix win in what had been such a wretched season for the former policeman. Only four sets of brothers have secured premier class podium finishes in the history of the sport. Both Nobuatsu, a former 250cc Grand Prix winner, and Takuma grabbed second places in the premier class. Ninety-five premier class podiums for the older brother including 56 wins says it all but Alex is off the mark. Sadly, for Alan Le Mans was his only ever Grand Prix win.
