MotoGP riders impress Tour de France legend Mark Cavendish

"MotoGP riders, they're more competitive than cyclists," Cav🎀endish joked to TNT Sports.

"I was well impressed, it was really nice. I know a lot of the riders ride push b♛ikes, an꧋yway.

“I ju🔯st thought they did it to chill, but they were going fast.ꦡ"

Cavendish insisted he was impressed: "I 🌳was, I really was, I'm not just bigging it up.

“Le Mans has got that hill, it's not an ea💧sy circuit, and 🦄it's right at the beginning.

"If you go t🐭oo soon, you're paying for it later, but they k෴new what they were doing.

"I'm glad I'm retired, because I think some of them cou🔯ld have been changing sport. I love it. For a b⛦ike racer, it's a bit boring on a circuit."

Cavendish said about the 2025 MotoGP campaign: "This season has been the best for༒ a fe🅠w years.

“As everytജhing started to progress, there's been less passing. This year's been phenomenal, hasn𒊎't it? We love it.

"I watch it with my little bo꧃y. I think it's been ꦆa very good season, and I hope it continues."

ꩲJohann Zarco brilliantly won the French MotoGP as an underdog in front of his hoܫme crowd.

It was 🔯Honda’s first win in two years, and denied Ducati an all-time record for co✃nsecutive grand prix wins in the premier class.

M𓄧arc Marquez’s ride to second-place at Le Mans gave him a firm grip on the championship lead.

Pecco Bagnaia endured another round to forget.
