The Moto2 race at the French Grand Prix delivered plenty of drama, with multiple red flags adding to the excitement. Here’s a full recap of the action.
Manu González continues to hold the championship lead after another strong performance. The Madrid-born rider now has a 9.5-point advantage over Izan Guevara, who moved up to second place, and a 20.2-point lead over Senna Agius.
Senna Agius had a tough day, finishing only 8th, while Dani Holgado remains in a slump, ending the race in 11th place. After podiums in the first two races of the season, Holgado has now finished outside the top ten in three consecutive events.
Iván Ortolá delivered an impressive comeback, earning his first podium of the season. Starting from 14th on the grid, he fought his way up to finish a well-deserved 3rd.
Manu González continues to ride like a champion, prioritizing consistency above all else. He has scored points in every race and has finished on the podium in four of the five rounds held so far.
IZAN GUEVARA TAKES THE VICTORY! He secures his first win of the season and his second career Moto2 victory. A dominant performance from pole position, leading from start to finish.
Iván Ortolá has practically secured third place, claiming his first podium of the season today.
Senna Agius improved a few positions early in the race but then stalled in 8th place and couldn’t progress further.
FINAL LAP! Izan Guevara maintains his lead and is on the verge of his first victory of the season, the second of his Moto2 career. He holds a one-second advantage over Manu González, who will retain the championship lead if the race ends this way.
Manu González has closed the gap to under a second, but he doesn’t seem likely to catch Izan Guevara, who is riding flawlessly without any mistakes.
THREE LAPS TO GO! The gaps among the front runners remain stable. Iván Ortolá is trying to close in on Manu González, but it won’t be easy with little track left.
If Izan Guevara wins, the Balearic rider will certainly confirm his championship credentials in this tight intermediate category.
Izan Guevara is aiming for his first victory of the season and his second in Moto2, following his debut win at the 2025 Valencia Grand Prix.
Izan Guevara continues to dominate, managing a lead of just over a second ahead of Manu González and Iván Ortolá.
Dani Holgado is struggling again. He made contact with David Alonso at the start of the race and now sits in 12th place, just behind Arón Canet.
Great race scenario for Manu González! He is running in second position, which will strengthen his championship lead given that Senna Agius is only 7th at the moment.
