Argentinian GP – Zarco (2nd): "I was on the verge of falling"

Second for 25 hundredths at the end of an incredible Grand Prix, Johann Zarco is gradually approaching this first victory which is reaching out to him in MotoGP… The French driver ran to the limit, even ejecting the unfortunate Dani Pedrosa from the first lap, but climbed 5 places in the world championship! Debriefing.

Johann Zarco, Yamaha Tech3 (3rd in qualifying and 2nd in race) : "It was a pretty difficult race … Overall the delayed start was favorable to all the riders except Jack (Miller) who had chosen the slick. From the start there weren’t many options. for the best line, but I felt stuck behind Dani (Pedrosa) so finally I tried to pass. Due to the conditions I started a little wide, but that was the only way to pass him. I’m sorry that ‘he fell ".

"It was a very difficult race overall today and I was on the verge of a crash. I did my best from start to finish. In fighting Cal (Crutchlow) I didn’t want to make a mistake. , but on the other hand he deserved this victory today. I’m really happy to have been able to grab this second place! "

Site analysis : Indeed, the decision – very questionable – to postpone the start made the business of all the competitors … except for the main interested party, Jack Miller, who legitimately wanted to assume the risks of going on slicks and therefore naturally derive the benefits. if necessary … Zarco, who like the others had been more careful in his choice of tires, therefore also took the opportunity to change at the last minute and was able to avoid leaving the pits thanks to this unprecedented decision by race management.

But thanks to these circumstances and despite the difficult track conditions, the French had an intelligent and daring race, driving to the limit and even admitting to being permanently on the edge..

Long third – and ahead of Cal Crutchlow for most of the race – he even took control from lap 20 to 22, before losing to the Briton for just 25 hundredths under the checkered flag..

Finally, let us point out that his manly overtaking Dani Pedrosa was not considered aggressive or irresponsible by the race management, with reason it seems insofar as the French, at the price of an interior that is certainly "couillu", did not deliberately collide with the Spanish. He even almost left the carpet, rolling on the same wet track as Pedrosa…

The drama doesn’t stop !!! highsides out of the race on lap one!

The discreet Dani Pedrosa does not see things exactly the same way, however, believing that "the race management must ensure the safety of every driver". To the best of my mind … Currently suffering from "severe pain in the right wrist", the Spaniard will undergo a medical examination tomorrow in Barcelona and bitterly regrets not having been able to complete the first lap when he thought "to have done a good job all the weekend "and that he" drove very well "…

Contrary to what happened after the clash between Marquez and Rossi – and which has not finished talking, not necessarily wisely … -, Pedrosa does not seem to blame Zarco openly: it is is the race…

The Frenchman has in any case once again proved that he will have to reckon with his presence at the forefront this year: victory will not be long in coming. !
