16-year-old rookie Maverick Vinales ended Nico Terol's unbeaten 2011 run with ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚa stunning last-turn victory in Sunday's French 125cc Grand Prix.

Terol was making his 100th grand pr💎ix start at t꧟he event, and looking to take his fourth win in as many races, while Vinales came into Le Mans with a best finish of fourth from his three previous GPs.

Vinales was the only rider able to s♑tick with pole sitter Terol and the pair had pulled seven-seconds clear of the field by the midway point of the 24 laps.

Vinales then continued to cling doggedly to the back of Terol - before grabbing the lead with eight﷽ laps to go. But the Paris Hilton Racing rider was unabl💦e to shake-off his experienced opponent, who retaliated with three laps remaining.

Terol must have hoped he could then break away from Vinales, or that the rꦛookie would happily settle for a debut rostrum, but the determined Vinales had his sights set firmly on victory - which he claimed in dramatic style by d🌠iving for the inside at the very final turn.

Terol's Aspar Aprilia team-mate Hector Faubel, who hasn't finished higher th♒an eleventh this year due to race accidents, led🧜 a five-rider battle for third for much of the race - but lost out to Ajo Derbi's Efren Vasquez in the closing stages.

Vasquez thus took his first podium of the year while 🏅team-mate and home rider Johann Z𓄧arco claimed fifth place behind Faubel.
