During this period relatively less rich in information in the MotoGP paddock, the opportunity is great to make a place for young shoots who dream of one day joining their idols. One of the first steps to achieve this is to participate in the French Pré-Moto3 championship, “Objective Grand-Prix”. After the first three rounds, a first hierarchy emerges within this category.

It's about the mythical Bugatti Le Mans circuit that the first confrontation took place. Twelve pilots met on the handlebars of their Sherco, Moriwaki or other BMS.

From the first race, Clement Rougé proved that he intended to be the boss of the category by winning with more than 25 seconds ahead of Matthieu Grégorio. After a fierce struggle, it is Joris Inguilla who stood on the last step of the podium.

The start of the second race was given on a wet track. This is how the winner of the day before was trapped in the first round. Clément Rougé then left the field open to Matthieu Grégorio to seek his first victory. Nolan Mauchamp et Guillaume Jucha completed the podium.

Nogaro was the scene of the second round of the championship, with, as always, two races on the program. After his fall at Le Mans, Clément Rougé came to forget his mistake. 28 and 40 correspond to the number of seconds ahead that number 45 had at the end of the two races. A clear domination.
Matthieu Gregorio was then content with second place during the first race, while he fell in the second.
Quentin Perez achieved his first podium of the season in the first race, while the second podium was completed by Theo Serriere and Joris Inguilla.

Being as fast as his rival during qualifying, the round of Ledenon should have been the opportunity for Mathieu Gregorio to reduce the gap in the championship... If bad luck had not come to play spoilsport.
As the battle raged during the first race, Matthieu Gregorio was forced to pit due to a penalty. Clément Rougé was going for his fourth victory of the season. Mathieu Gregorio nevertheless managed to take second place ahead of the regular Joris Ingiulla.

The hope of beating Clément Rougé on a regular basis was high for Matthieu Grégorio before the start of the second race. This hope was short-lived since after the warm-up lap, he had to bring his Sherco back to the pits to resolve a mechanical problem. He nevertheless managed to finish in third position, and set the fastest lap in the race. Joris Ingiulla was once again on the podium with a second position.

With five victories and a blank result, it is therefore Clément Rougé who dominates the championship with 132 points, ahead of Mathieu Grégorio (106) and Joris Ingiulla (94). The latter, progressing in each race, however, still have a chance of taking the crown at the end of the eight remaining races.
