On a day when “it was easy to make a mistake”, Marc Marquez’s damage limitation paid off as he left Le Mans with a 22-point lead in the championship

MotoGP: "Today was one of those days where you have to limit the damage, those first 5-6 laps were crazy. Zarco was faster, I waited to see if his tyres dropped, but 8 seconds lead was too much, I decided not to risk it.

Marc Marquez says “the only small mistake” he made during the chaotic flag-to-flag MotoGP French Grand Prix was when he served his double long lap penalty.
