Johann Zarco gets to the points in Misano

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco finished 15th on Sunday race at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.

Frenchman Zarco conducted a solid race on Italian soil after noticing some progress over the weekend’s sessions. He performed a strong start and began recovering positions from the 17th spot of the grid, although a couple of mistakes prevented him from pushing and catching other riders. He admitted enjoying the laps and riding more comfortably than in the last rounds, which gives him and the crew hope ahead of the upcoming races in Asia.

Johann Zarco 15th

“It’s positive to head to the Asian rounds after scoring points again. This weekend, we’ve taken a step forward, and today, during the race, I felt fast at the beginning as I managed to catch the group I had in front, which meant a lot. It was cool, and I had fun. However, I made some mistakes and lost time, so I could not do better than that. The good lap times at the last stages of the race are another sign that we are on the correct way. Let’s see in the upcoming races!”
