French GP breaks MotoGP attendance record in 2025

The 2025 French Grand Prix has broken the all-time record for the most spectators at a MotoGP round - as 311,797 fans were present across the Le Mans weekend. There were 94,757 in the grandstands on Thursday and Friday, while 96,637 were present on Saturday to watch home hero Fabio Quartararo claim pole.

It is the first time a French rider has won the French GP in the premier class at Le Mans since Pierre Monneret in 1954 Zarco's bid to stay out on the wet tyres paid off in the changeable conditions, as he crossed first beneath the chequered flag, followed by runner-up Marc Marquez and third-placed Fermin Aldeguer.
