The fourth round of 2012 season, the France Grand Prix went to Le Mans circuit.

Unfortunately, we see only 2 MD600s from QMMF Racing Team from the round.

The weekend started with the free practice in dry but it got wet since the qualifying practice where Anthony West came in 28^th and Elena Rosell 31^st.

--

The race started on Sunday in wet condition with 13 degree air and 15 degree ground. It was a survival race already from the opening lap saw some were crashing out. But West went through the difficult race in good form. He started from the 28^th grid, quickly went up to 19^th in the first lap, moved further to 10^th by lap12. He kept the momentum and was running in 5^th on lap22 battling for 4^th but finished the race in 7^th with 9 championship points.

Rosell tried hard but crashed out in latter of the race and retired.

The second round of 2012 season, the MotoGP went to Jerez circuit.

There wasn’t much luck in weather and it all started in wet condition. Anthony West who had won a GP in wet and is good at racing in such condition, timed 4^th fastest at first Free Practice on day1, gave hope for the weekend.

Both Free Practice sessions were wet on Friday but Saturday’s Qualifying Practice was dry, making difficult for everyone.

The top of the 4 MD600 riders after the qualifying practice was Gino Rea, starts the race from the 23^rd grid, followed by Anthony West on 29^th, Ratthapark Wilairot 30^th and Elena Rosell 31^st.

--

On Sunday morning, the track was really wet but the weather got better and it was dry by the time of Moto2 race. It started in 14 degree C air, 15 degree C ground, with some wet patches on the surface of the track.

The race started smoothly and Rea completed the opening lap in 14^th. West jumped to 23^rd, Wilairot in 28^th and Rosell in 31^st.

Some riders were falling or running out of the course as the race progressed and Rosell crashed out after she completed 4 laps, and unfortunately she had to retire.

West was slowly moving up, hoping for a point. But it started raining after a half way through the race and it forced the race to stop at lap 18, the red-flag was given.

So the position order of previous lap became the result of the race. Rea was in 15^th to get his first riders point for this season. West was right behind him, finished in 16^th and Wilairot was in 26^th.
