'''Christian Sarron''' (born 27 March 1955 in [[Clermont-Ferrand]], [[France]]) is a [[French people|French]] former [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|Grand Prix]] [[motorcycle]] [[road racing|road racer]]. __TOC__

==Motorcycle racing career== He began his career on a [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries|Kawasaki]] when he met French Grand Prix racer [[Patrick Pons]]. Pons helped him get his start in the international racing circuit. His first victory came in the rain in the [[1977 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1977]] [[German motorcycle Grand Prix|German Grand Prix]]. He was injured in a 750cc race which would begin a trend of numerous injuries for the next few years. In [[1982 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1982]], he again won in the rain at the [[Finnish motorcycle Grand Prix|Finnish Grand Prix]], cementing his reputation as an exceptional wet weather rider. He finished the [[1982 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1982]] season 8th in the 350 class and 10th in the 250 class.

Sarron would finish second to [[Carlos Lavado]] in the [[1983 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1983]] 250 class with another Grand Prix victory in the [[1983 Swedish motorcycle Grand Prix|Swedish Grand Prix]]. In [[1984 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1984]], he won three times on a [[Yamaha Motor Company|Yamaha]] and captured the [[List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Champions by year|250 World Championship]].<ref>[http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/profiles/Christian+Sarron Christian Sarron career statistics at MotoGP.com]</ref>

The following year saw Sarron move up to the premiere 500cc division with the Gauloises-[[Yamaha Motor Company|Yamaha]] team where he won again in the rain at the [[1985 German motorcycle Grand Prix|1985 German Grand Prix]]. He finished the season in an impressive third place to [[Freddie Spencer]] and [[Eddie Lawson]]. In [[1989 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1989]], he again finished third in the 500cc championship behind Lawson and [[Wayne Rainey]].

Sarron's 500cc career occurred at a time when the bikes suited the sliding style of the Americans who had been brought up on dirt oval tracks, yet Sarron still managed to post respectable results. In 1994, he teamed up with his brother [[Dominique Sarron]] to win the prestigious [[Bol d'or]] endurance race. In [[1995 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1995]], he retired from competition to take on the role of team director for Yamaha's [[Superbike racing|Superbike]] team.
