Johann Zarco achieved a historic victory at the French Grand Prix, becoming the first home rider in 71 years to win at Le Mans. With over 120,000 fans cheering him on, Zarco's strategic choice to start on wet tyres paid off amid a chaotic race filled with crashes and weather challenges. Despite starting in 17th position after an early close call, he navigated through the field, finished nearly 20 seconds ahead of Marc Marquez, and celebrated with a backflip in front of ecstatic fans. His win marks a significant moment for French motorsport.
"I think I need a bit of time but it's just magic because with the rain this weekend, everything went perfectly for me," said Zarco after his win.
"Zarco was 17th on lap one when he narrowly avoided a collision, but he methodically carved his way through the field to take the lead."
