Héctor Garzó will start from pole position at the MotoE French Grand Prix. The qualifying session took place this afternoon in Le Mans, and the rider set a new lap record of 1m39.995s.
In Q1, only three riders took turns leading: Andrea Mantovani (Klint Forward), Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team), and finally Kevin Zannoni (Openbank Aspar), who ended up as the fastest by beating Casadei by 0.256s. Mantovani was third, missing the cut by just 0.027s.
Also missing out was the 2019 champion, Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini), who only managed sixth place. Veteran Chaz Davies (Aruba Cloud MotoE) could only achieve eighth position.
Eric Granado (LCR E-Team) started strong in Q2, leading with his initial laps before being overtaken by Héctor Garzó (Dynavolt Intact GP). The Spaniard set two consecutive fast laps to finish as the leader, being the only one to break the 1m39s barrier.
Second place went to Nicholas Spinelli (Tech3 E-Racing), just 0.031s behind, relegating Granado to third on the starting grid. Coming from Q1, Casadei secured the fourth position. Zannoni was unable to compete in Q2.
