Also plenty of rain for the MotoGP in Le Mans (not Tiff's favourite circuit layout! with over 100 crashes and one of those that came down to earth with a bump was Suzi Perry’s new love Pedro Acosta, but a man who didn’t crash for first time this year was Scotland’s John McPhee with a solid 4th.
In Moto2 Sam Lowes Q10 to crash, Jake Dixon Q26 to 19th.
