Scott ends difficult French GP weekend with a DNF

A crash during the tenth lap of the French GP at Le Mans ended the race early for Scott Redding, never getting fully to grips with the French track throughout the weekend and anxious for redemption in the upcoming round at Mugello.

SCOTT REDDING
“It was a difficult weekend, but I am trying to look at the positive side. Unlike what happened in Jerez, where I didn’t have grip in the early laps, here at the race start I felt quite at ease with the bike. Usually the situation improves lap by lap, so I had planned on staying in the group of riders I was battling with to then improve during the race. Unfortunately, I struggled to manage the front tyre and, in fact, my crash was caused by a loss of grip at the front. I am disappointed about how things ended, but I am happy with the way I was riding in the race, where I had the best sensations of the weekend.”
