French MotoGP - Full Qualifying Results

Marquez claims a wet pole position for the French MotoGP, despite a fall during qualifying at Le Mans.

The Repsol Honda rider slid off after setting the early pace but was able to continue, while the worsening weather meant his earlier time remained unbeaten.

Petrucci and Miller (who also fell) complete Sunday's front row, when the weather is again looking uncertain.

The Yamahas of Rossi, Quartararo and Vinales were the only riders to start on slicks - as had worked so successfully for Rossi in Qualifying 1 - but conditions were wetter for Qualifying 2 and the trio came straight back to the pits and joined the others on wets.
