Francesco Bagnaia made a terrible start from pole position at Le Mans, dropping to fourth as Bezzecchi led away ahead of Acosta and Quartararo. The Italian had fought his way back into contention for the podium before crashing out of second place, handing Aprilia an extraordinary one-two-three finish with Martin, Bezzecchi and Ogura completing the podium positions. Bagnaia leaves Le Mans having started from pole and scored zero points. Factory Ducati’s miserable 2026 continues.
