Johann Zarco became the first Frenchman in 71 years to win the French Grand Prix after the LCR Honda riders decision to start with wet tyres paid off handsomely on Sunday in front of a sellout crowd at Le Mans.
In a chaotic race where riders swapped bikes multiple times, Zarco won by a huge margin of nearly 20 seconds ahead of Ducatis Marc Marquez while Gresini Racings Fermin Aldeguer came third for his first MotoGP podium.
