Italian MotoGP on May 30.

The French MotoGP was won by Zarco's teammate Jack Miller and Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo secured a third-place finish.
Quartararo is now sitting at the top of the Riders' standings as the race for this season's MotoGP world title hots up.
The Ducati duo of Francesco Bagnaia and Zarco are placed second and third respectively on the standings.
Zarco will climb to the top of the standings if he wins this weekend's race as he is just 12 points behind leader Quartararo.

Zarco believes that he is on the right track following his second spot finish in France and he is enjoying riding the Ducati bike.
“I think I have enough experience, I can have even more experience on the Ducati because maybe a few things are missing to be very comfortable on the Ducati," Zarco said.
“But the bike is ready, the team is ready. I would say that I can be ready, just need to control always more and more the Ducati.
“So, if this is coming fast enough during the season, I have a big chance for the title. So, to get 20 points today is so nice.”
Ducati are placed at the top of Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Yahama and Suzuki respectively.
