San Marino Grand Prix: Zarco completes Misano race following opening-lap collision

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco completes Misano race despite early incident.

• Johann Zarco got off to a strong start and made determined moves to regain positions, but was taken out on the opening lap by another rider and crashed.
• The Frenchman managed to rejoin the race, aiming to fight for points or be ready in case of a red flag, showcasing his commitment and perseverance.
• Despite the setback, Zarco completed all 27 laps and crossed the finish line in 16th place, collecting valuable data for the team and once again proving his dedication.

“After the crash, the right side of the bike was damaged, but it was still rideable. However, I was missing a lot of stability. I wanted to rejoin the race in case of a red flag. I also noticed other riders making mistakes, so I was hoping to score some points. It’s a real pity, my start was good, but another rider crashed and I was right next to him; I couldn’t avoid him. In any case, I wanted to at least give it a try. Now I’m focused on tomorrow’s test and on doing a good job.”
