Mallorcan rider Izan Guevara (Boscoscuro) achieved his first victory of the 2026 season at the Moto2 French Grand Prix, held in Le Mans. After the race, Guevara expressed his satisfaction with a weekend where he felt competitive from Friday onwards. In a day marked by incidents, he managed to keep his calm and maintain his advantage over his rivals to cross the finish line in first position with authority.
The Boscoscuro setup as the key to success 🏍️
Guevara highlighted the evolution in the setup of his Boscoscuro throughout the weekend. The team adjusted the electronics and chassis to adapt to the Le Mans asphalt. Traction in slow corners was a strong point, allowing the rider to maintain a consistent pace. The management of rear tire wear also played a relevant role, as Guevara was able to keep a steady pace in the final laps without losing performance against his pursuers.
Beginner's luck or a job well done 🏁
Although Guevara said he felt comfortable, some in the paddock point out that the red flag due to Arbolino's accident came at just the right time for him. But hey, in Moto2 nothing is given away. The Mallorcan took the prize, and while others were doing the math, he was already celebrating. That said, he shouldn't get used to it: the next race could be a different story, and the rivals are already taking note.
