The French GP of the Moto3 class surely provided for some unexpected turn of events: the bad weather conditions and the consequent lack of grip allowed young Frenchman Louis Rossi to seal away and clinch his first victory ever in GP racing, with runner-up Alberto Moncayo crossing the finish line a good 27 seconds after the winner and right in front of Alex Rins, who completed the French podium.
Championship contenders Maverick Vinales and Romano Fenati both crashed out and scored zero points, allowing Germany’s Sandro Cortese (6th) to take the lead.
