Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi qualified third at Le Mans, missing pole by less than 0.03 seconds after an impressive Q2 lap. Bezzecchi set an early benchmark in Q2 with a 1:29.825 before Bagnaia’s final lap pipped him. The Italian won at Le Mans in 2023 during his time with VR46 Ducati and starts Sunday’s French Grand Prix from the best possible position to extend his championship lead further.
