Bagnaia is in good form at the moment having won the recent Spanish MotoGP and this makes him a clear favourite to win the French MotoGP.

What did he say?
 
"Considering how the weekend had started, this may be my best win in MotoGP," Bagnaia said after winning the Spanish MotoGP.
 
"The tussle was really incredible, and I had a lot of fun. We learned a lot from this GP, and it can help us grow as a team. 
 
"Friday was a difficult day, but my team did an incredible job of allowing me to regain a good feeling with the bike," the Turin-born star continued. 
 
"They understood my requests well, and today, thanks to the latest changes on the Desmosedici GP, we were able to win. Doing it here was really special, given the great warmth of the fans, so I'm thrilled."
