We’ve already enjoyed more than our fair share of drama and excitement this season, but the SHARK Helmets Grand Prix de France treated us to yet another wonderfully crazy weekend of racing which saw the lovable Danilo Petrucci (Ducati Team) return to the top step for the first time since Mugello 2019. Nerves already through the roof, the MotoGP™ riders were about to tackle a first wet race since the 2018 Valencia GP. In his first wet MotoGP™ race, the reigning Moto2™ World Champion simply excelled. 19 points cover Quartararo, Mir, Dovizioso and Viñales with five races of 2020 remaining. Mir’s fine run of form comes to an end, but crucially, Quartararo, Mir and Viñales finished the race. After nine races of the 2019 season, Marc Marquez was on 185 points, with Dovizioso and Petrucci sitting on 127 and 121 respectively. All three of those riders were on more points than what Quartararo’s accumulation is this year at the same stage – and Frenchman has won a third of the races.
