French MotoGP - Free Practice (4) Results

A quiet session as light rain returns at the start of the session, after the track had almost dried out.

Marquez was caught out on slicks during his first lap, while most riders chose to wait in the pits before heading out on wet tyres in the closing stages, when Marquez returned to the top.

Qualifying 1, for those outside the top ten after third free practice - including Rossi,Crutchlow and Rins - will now get underway.
