The Repsol Honda Team had a positive Saturday at Le Mans. Their two riders went straight through to Q2 and will start the French Grand Prix race from the second and third row of the grid.<\/p>\n

Marc M\u00e1rquez, who this morning made the cut for Q2, will start from sixth tomorrow. The eight-time World Champion matched his best qualifying result of the year with a position he had previously taken at the Portuguese Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

With a best time of 1:33.037, M\u00e1rquez was less than half a second behind the pole time and showed again, in mixed conditions, that his feeling is improving day after day.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the box, Pol Espargar\u00f3 also went straight into Q2, for the first time since joining the Repsol Honda Team. Espargar\u00f3 was eighth fastest with a time of 1:33.150.<\/p>\n

The work done during the Jerez test began to bear fruit and Espargar\u00f3 set a good pace, just over half a second off pole position.<\/p>\n

The French Grand Prix takes place tomorrow at 2pm CEST.<\/p>\n
