MotoGP France 2026 at Le Mans, a new Aprilia-Ducati showdown: full schedule, live on Sky and TV8

On to the first of two consecutive events. With Thursday’s statements in the books, tomorrow it’s time for action at the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans, hosting the 2026 French GP. MotoGP resumes from the tests in Spain with updates and perhaps a few new parts to debut for this event. All eyes are clearly on Aprilia, the queen of this season’s start; we’ll then see if the Ducati factory team can bounce back, between Marquez’s physical condition and Bagnaia seeking redemption after the technical KO. KTM lines up with four bikes and Jonas Folger called up in an emergency—how will Honda and Yamaha fare? In Moto2 there’s hope for some tricolor flashes, while Moto3 needs a comeback after the total disaster at Jerez (which was followed by a test day). Below are all the schedules for the French Grand Prix at Le Mans. As always, full live coverage on Sky Sport (streaming on SkyGo and NowTV), and this time TV8 will also broadcast all three Sunday GP races live.
