Freddie Spencer took another step towards the double world championship when he took his Rothmans Hondas to victory in the 250cc and 500cc classes at the French GP at Le Mans.
But there was more to it than that - the hard charge of Eddie Lawson, the pursuit of Spencer by Wayne Gardner and the redoubled efforts of Christian Sarron are only the highlights of the sizzling action. Raymond Roche had a wheel-to-wheel battle with Randy Mamola which you simply can’t miss, and in the 250cc class Spencer's defeat of the very best of the quarter-litre field is simply awesome.
