Johann Zarco finished seventh in the MotoGP Italian Grand Prix on his Tech3 team Yamaha. In the championship, the resounding victory of Dovizioso lost a place to the French debutant, who nevertheless remained sixth, 41 points behind Viñales… Statements and Analysis.

Johann Zarco, Yamaha Tech3 (11th in qualifying and 7th in race) :  "It was a great race for me and I’m happy with the final result. I started 11th on the grid, which complicates things because I didn’t have the advantage I had at Le Mans (, Editor’s note). J I was still able to keep the pace, but it was difficult to pass Iannone because his acceleration was slightly better and his braking was also very strong. It took a long time to overtake him and suddenly I lost contact with Marquez and Bautista, who were fighting for 5th place. When I passed Iannone I hoped to catch up with the two riders in front of me quite quickly, but I was exhausted because I had to force a lot on the bike and I felt that my tires had deteriorated a bit ".

"In the last five laps the group behind me caught up to me but I had a great feeling on the bike and the rear tire was working great again, as was the front tire so I was able to attack to keep this 7th place ", rejoices Johann. "It’s a good result because it was a risky weekend. We tried to find a solution to the sliding problems but it was not easy. But once again, I learned a lot and I have gave everything I had, so we can leave Mugello satisfied ".

"It was a complicated weekend here, but he was still – by far – the best rookie, finishing ahead of several official riders, including Iannone and Lorenzo," continued the Tech3 team manager. "The guys in front were faster and we could all see how strong the Ducati was on this circuit, but maybe the competition will be more even on other circuits".
