The Annual FISE festival took to the banks of Montpellier last weekend to embrace action sports in all its glory and Monster Energy was there in full force once again.

Valentino Rossi, Michael Schumacher and Stephane Peterhansel together sharing tarmac here in Le Mans. Fair enough, it was left to Valentino to wrestle his machinery on the track but the titles on show were pretty spectacular.

From the sound of the campsites last night, the tens of thousands of fans already gathered here in Le Mans sure are. The Monster Energy Grand Prix de France is primed for its showdown as round four of the MotoGP World Championship clicks into gear with FP3 and Qualifying all set to go down at the Bugatti Circuit later today.
