MotoGP: Miller tops opening practice at Le Mans
The SHARK Grand Prix de France got underway with dry running in Practice 1. Jack Miller started his weekend putting his best foot forward as the Aussie put down a 1:31.449 to lead the way after MotoGP’s first taste of the action in Le Mans.
Luca Marini returned to his COTA form as the Italian put his Ducati in P2.
Meanwhile, Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) continued KTM’s glory streak making it two factory riders in the top 3 for the Austrian manufacturer.
Marc Marquez returned to track action in P1, it didn’t take long before the Spaniard made friends with the gravel trap once again. Is he washed up or is the Honda just that bad?
