Like the Spanish Grand Prix, the French Grand Prix had to resolve to give up its initial dates on the MotoGP calendar. It was from May 15 to 17 and it is postponed indefinitely. The Bugatti route at Le Mans is the fifth to have to delay its representation, knowing that, of this contingent, only three meetings had a new place. Spain and France therefore remain in anticipation that Catalonia and Italy could also quickly discover. Stage local Hervé Poncharal is very sorry…
Le Grand Prix of France will not take place on the scheduled dates, but has not been canceled. So there is hope and it could come this summer, as long as the coronavirus finally decides to leave us alone. A situation which really distresses the French boss of a Tech3 team which would have played on his land, even with Austrian motorcycles and without the slightest local rider: “ it's a great sadness to say that we won't be able to go to Le Mans in a few weeks ", entrusts Hervé Poncharal. " It was a special meeting for the team. Even if, today, we no longer have a French pilot. »
The one who is also president of the IRTA (International Racing Teams Association) adds in the columns of West France : " we also know the enthusiasm and the expectation that there was around Fabio Quartararo. » He ends by having a thought for the organizer who did so much to ensure that Johann zarco finds a handlebar in 2020: “ the PHA teams, Claude Michy, the ACO, had already done a large part of the work. I think we would have had a fabulous Grand Prix, but unfortunately there are more important things, so be wise and stay home. » Good advice, and it's only a postponement!
