2022 MotoGP French Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

Fabio Quartararo continues to lead the riders' championship heading to the Bugatti Circuit, a track that has traditionally suited the Yamaha M1.

Aleix Espargaro sits an excellent second on the Aprilia, with Enea Bastianini and Alex Rins tied on third place with 69 points each (compared to 89 for Quartararo).

Francesco Bagnaia has moved up to fifth in the standings following his victory at Jerez a fortnight ago.

Ducati sits well clear of the opposition in the manufacturers' table, holding a 42-point over nearest rival Yamaha.
