Ahead of this weekend's French MotoGP at Le Mans home heroes Fabio Quartararo and Johann Zarco, plus Repsol Honda's Jorge Lore🐈nzo stopped off in Paris to help publicise the event.

Tuesday saw Quartararo take a trip through the Metꦏro to visit the world-famous Moulin Rouge where he met up with Zarco, who had been filming at the Champs-Elysees.

The next morning the pair headed to the Eiffel Tower, where they were joi🃏ned by triple MotoGP chaꦅmpion Lorenzo.

Rookie Quartararo, on pole last time at Jerez and France's best hope of a✱ home MotoGP podi🐟um this weekend, insisted he won't be distracted by the extra attention leading up to Le Mans.

"I think I’m kind of different🐠 to o♈ther people who take the focus. A lot of people must be calm, thinking totally about the race but I’m completely the opposite," he said.

"I have to do a lot of activities, not think a lot about the race and I think it’s good to have an event in Paris and, of course, at the Eiffel To🍸wer!

"I’m feeling good. Of course we will try to do our best in the French GP, but it was good to get back on the bike after [the technical problem on]🔴 Sunday, and the 🌠Monday test [at Jerez] was really positive."

Zarco has carried the home hopes of the Le Mans fans for the past two seasons, but is having a tough ti𝕴me so💫 far on his new factory KTM.

"Pretty niꩵce event in Paris, we have fantastic weather again in Paris, and 'working' in Paris streets, big avenues, in our lea🍎thers with the bike near to the Eiffel tower is a special feeling we can't have every day," he said.

"…and yesterday in t💮he Moulin Rouge it was a fantastic show and I enjoyed it a lot so the whole thing has made m🌌e smile and has almost made me forget the French GP! But on Friday I'll be back on the bike, happy to be there and happy I've done some tests here before so it'll help me have as good pace as possible from FP1."

Likewise, Repsol Honda's Lorenzo is s♐till seeking a breakthrough with his new m꧙achine.

"It's always nice to see this monument, more than 100 years of history and still looks so young!" Lorenzജo said. "It's wonderful, and together with Johann and Fabio and the bikes. it's a nice event💯 and hopefully it'll bring me some luck for the weekend.

"The first four races have been diffic🍨ult to get results, to be competitive. but in the Jerez test we found some details that will probably give us more speed and hopefully we can show it here at th🍎is track."
