MotoGP: Jack Miller tops Friday practice at Le Mans

There is just no way of predicting which way the tables will turn in the MotoGP 2023 season.

Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) dominated the proceedings on Day 1 of the SHARK Grand Prix de France, topping both Practice sessions to continue his strong run of form with his new KTM team.

Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing) showed a return to the top onboard his Aprilia, while the Italian prodigy Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) displayed why he can never be discounted, taking 3rd place on Day 1.
