Picked by several MotoGP riders as their pre-se🦂ason pick for the Moto3 championship, Gabriel Rodrigo has a mountain to climb following his crash from the lead at Jerez. 🦹;

The Argentine is currently eighth in the championship on 25 points, while Moto3 sensation Pedro Acosta took another impressiveꦰ win to move 51 points clear of his nea🌱rest rival with a points tally of 95. 

Of his six starts in France༺, Rodrgio has finished just two races which were both in the last two years with a best result of fourth coming in 2019. 

"Wꦗe’re eager to make amends after🐟 Jerez. We probably had the best race pace and we didn’t capitalise," said Rodrigo. 

"We will try at Le Mans – a track I like – t🐲o𝄹 keep doing a good job like we did in Spain two wees ago, as we aim at bouncing back. I took a big hit in my foot, so I rested and I’m ready to go."

It had not exactly been a stunning star🦄t to 2021 for team-mate Alcoba either with back-to-back DNF’s in Qatar and a 14th in Portimao, however, the third place finish is his and the team’s best result of the season to date. 

Speaking ahead of Le Mans, the Spaniard is aiming for a repeat performance as you would▨ expect, bu꧒t just as high on the priority list seems to be completing a clean weekend. 

Alcoba added: "Needless to say that we are looking for a repeat result at Le Mans, maybe without trying🐟 our luck too hard. 

"We need a very solid weekend and without mistakes. I’m yet to have one this season so I’m looking forward to try and play my cards right in the race – without being penalised.&n💦bsp;

"Last year it was a difficult weekend in which I made a few rookie mistakes, but we’re re🌊ady fo👍r the challenge this year."
