David Alonso da Aspar emerged victorious in an exciting battle to win the Moto3 race at the French Grand Prix at Le Mans. He faced strong competition from Daniel Holgado of Tech3 and Collin Veijer of Husqvarna. Alonso was the standout throughout the weekend, leading all sessions before the race. He started on pole position alongside championship leader Holgado and Jose Antonio Rueda of Ajo KTM. Veijer, who was third in the standings before the race, started on the second row.
Alonso had a good start, but Holgado challenged him at Turn 1 and overtook him at Turn 4 to take the lead. The most significant move on the first lap came from David Munoz of Boe Motorsport, who climbed from eighth on the grid to third at Turn 3 before overtaking Alonso and taking second place. On the second lap, Holgado, Munoz, and Alonso formed the leading trio, with a group of bikes closely following in typical Moto3 style. Adrian Fernandez managed to take third from Alonso at the end of the second lap, but he had a double long lap penalty hanging over him, and he served the first penalty on the third lap, dropping to 16th place. Veijer moved up to third, followed by Alonso and Ivan Ortola. Angel Piqueras set the fastest lap and secured fifth place on the fourth lap. Piqueras briefly passed Alonso at Turn 8, but Alonso regained the position shortly after. The race was relatively tame by Moto3 standards, and a group of bikes outside of the points-paying positions provided an exciting battle for the Le Mans crowd. Stefano Nepa, who was in 17th place, set the fastest lap on the sixth lap of the Bugatti Circuit.
On the eighth lap, Munoz lost second place to Veijer, who had won the previous race in Jerez. Munoz briefly lost third place to Riccardo Rossi, but regained the position by forcing Rossi out in Turn 11, leading to an investigation by the race stewards. Two laps later, Munoz received a double long lap penalty, effectively ending his chances of victory. Amidst the drama, Veijer took the lead on the ninth lap in his pursuit of consecutive wins. Holgado closely followed Veijer, while Alonso watched from fourth position. Munoz served his first long lap penalty on the 11th lap after briefly taking the lead, allowing Holgado to regain the lead. The group of bikes behind the leaders began to spread out on the 13th lap, with Veijer, Holgado, Alonso, and Ortola trying to pull away. Ryusei Yamanaka of MT Helmets, who was Ortola’s teammate, struggled to keep up with the top four in fifth place. Joel Esteban of Aspar overtook Yamanaka for fifth place on the 14th lap. As the pack started the 15th lap, Holgado collided with Veijer in Turn 1, but both riders managed to avoid a fall. Ortola passed Alonso to take third place in Turn 3 on the 17th lap, but Alonso quickly regained the position half a lap later.
With three laps remaining, Veijer regained the lead, but Alonso took advantage of the third to first position coming out of Garage Vert. As they started the penultimate lap, the top three were involved in a fierce battle. At the beginning of the final lap, Holgado was in the lead, but Alonso quickly overtook him to regain the lead. Holgado tried to pass Alonso on the pit straight, but Alonso defended his position. Alonso remained unchallenged in the final corners and secured his third victory in the Grand Prix season, reducing the gap to Holgado at the top of the standings to just one point. Alonso, Holgado, and Veijer stopped on the cooldown lap to congratulate each other on a well-fought race. Esteban and Ortola finished in fourth and fifth place, respectively. Fernandez made a remarkable comeback after his double long lap penalty to finish in sixth, followed by Yamanaka in seventh. Rueda, who started second on the grid, finished eighth, with Tatsuki Suzuki and Piqueras completing the top 10. Luca Luneta and Jacob Roulstone finished just outside the top 10 in 11th and 12th place, while Joel Kelso and Taiyo Furusato finished in 13th and 14th. David Almansa secured the final point in 15th place.
