Evans placed seventh in Moto 1 and fourth in Moto 2.
“I had a great weekend here in France. I felt really good in timed practice and qualified in third, which is the best this year – and then finished fourth in the qualifying race.
“I struggled with tyre spin on the start-gate in race one, so I had to come from a long way back. I made my way up to seventh in the first moto, but made a lot of passes on the first lap in race two. I tried to get up to third, but couldn’t get it done, so had to settle for fourth.
“It felt great to be on a French team in France. Even some of the crowd were cheering for me. It felt like a home GP and that was so cool.
“I’m happy with fourth overall. It was a good weekend. My speed is good and I’m happy with my riding and looking forward to Russia.”
After placing 20th in the MX2 class timed practice, Rockstar Husqvarna’s Jed Beaton took no further part in the MXGP of France.
In EMX250, Caleb Grothues placed 13-36 for 19th overall.
