Andrew McLarney is an accredited MotoGP reporter with four years experience as a professional writer across the sports and video game industries. His experience as a K1 Premier League competitor evolved into a fascination with all forms of combat sport and eventually motorsport — with MotoGP becoming his primary focus. On top of that he is also an avid follower of MXGP and AMA Supercross/Motocross.
The French Grand Prix delivered more chaos in the Moto2 class as an exciting season begins to heat up at the front-end of the championship.
Spain's Dani Holgado had a high side on the opening lap but was thankfully okay despite being slightly shaken. The red flags then came out on Lap 3 after Jorge Navarro crashed on the straight with the bike in a difficult position to recover for the marshals, which enabled Holgado to rejoin.
Izan Guevara looked comfortable from start to finish as he made a statement in his 2026 championship challenge and held off Manuel Gonzales and Ivan Ortola for the victory.
David Alonso had a solid race throughout but not enough pace to challenge for the podium this weekend, he finished the race in P5.
Australia's Senna Agius continued his good start to the 2026 campaign with a decent points finish while Dutchman Collin Veijer crashed out along with Dani Munoz on the second lap of the restart and will be disappointed not to score points after his pole position and podium last time out in Jerez.
