MotoGP will visit the Bugatti Circuit this weekend for the French Grand Prix. Last year’s race celebrated 1000 MotoGP races and was won by Marco Bezzecchi.
The Italian took his second grand prix victory of 2023, after taking the top spot on the podium at the Argentine Grand Prix – which briefly gave him the championship lead.
The French Grand Prix will take place on the Bugatti Circuit, which is part of the wider Le Mans track, which hosts the iconic endurance race.
