653: Ducati's Last Stand - 2026 MotoGP French Grand Prix Review

from Motorsport101 · host Dre Harrison

Bonus points if any of you spot where the change of transition audio comes from - DreA dramatic MotoGP weekend landed at Le Mans, one of the blue ribbon events on the calendar, and it was dominated by two massive stories. On Saturday, Marc Marquez suffered a huge highside at the end of the Sprint, causing him to break a metatarsal in his foot, leading to him missing the Grand Prix, and the Catalonia GP this weekend in Barcelona. It turns out, he was planning to have surgery on said shoulder after Barcelona anyway, and this crash brought that forward. On top of what could be the end of Marquez's title defence, we also had Aprilia's first ever podium lockout and the first double win of 2026 - Jorge Martin is a GP winner again for the first time in nearly 600 days. Is he now the favourite for the Championship after beating Marco Bezzecchi at his own game? And is Fabio di Giannantonio heading to KTM? All that and more on another M101!
