Miller overcomes a double long-lap penalty and late charge by Zarco to make it two wins in a row during a dramatic dry-wet-dry🎉 flag-to-flag French MotoGP at Le Mans.

Early race leader Miller and Ducati team-mate Bagnaia both received a double long-lap penalty for speeding in pit lane during their b𝄹ike swaps, but the Australian was soon able to overcome the penalties, taking the lead from home star Quartararo with 16 laps to go.

However there was a further weather twist when the꧟ sun began shining and track quickly drying, meaning those with a least one soft wet - including race leaders Miller and Quartararo - might potentially need to pit again for slic﷽ks.

Zarco๊, on the medium wets, swept by countryman Quartararo for second place with 6 laps to go but Miller remained out of reach for victory over the French stars.

After a so🔜aking wet warm-up the race began on a dry track, but wi𓆏th dark clouds gathering overhead.

Rain duly arrived after just 3 laps, pouring down by lap 5 of 27, when the leaders all pul🏅led in to switch from soft slicks to wets.

Marc Marquez took the lead of a MotoGP race for the first time since Jerez 2020 by passing Quartararo during their bike swaps, after the Frenchman pulled into team-mate Vinales' pit area, but the Honda rider's reign lasted just a few laps before being highsided a🦹t the final corners.

Marquez rejoined🌊 in 18th, but later crashed out for a final time while holding eleventh with 10ꦬ laps to go.

Quartararo later received a long-lap penalty for his bike swap error, but had already lost the lead to 𝔉Miller.

A double disaster💝 for Suzuki saw Mir fall just before swapping bikes and Rins just after, with only the #42 able to continue, before crashing 🌠for a second time.

Morbidelli tangled with Pol Espargaro on the opening lap, running wide and falling in the gravel trap, before rejoi𝄹ning. Oliveira later crashed while top KTM in ninth. Savadori and team-mate Aleix Espargaro both r꧂etired due to technical problems on their Aprilias.

Quartararo was racing fo♈r the first time since arm-pump surgery on his right forearm. Injured rookie Jorge Martin was again replaced by Rabat. Marquez, sidelined for nine months after complications to a broken right arm last J💖uly, was taking part in his third event since returning to MotoGP action.

Today's race was the first flag-to-🐓flag since Brno 2017.

The Italian Grand Prix at Mugello takes place at the end of this month, with Quartararo now back in the title lead by just 1 point over Bagnaia, who recovered to fourth.
