Indonesian Grand Prix: Johann Zarco scores points in Mandalika after a demanding race

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco crossed the line in 12th place in Sunday’s race in Mandalika.

• Under extremely hot conditions and facing a comeback race, Frenchman Zarco, as in the Sprint, made a good start and began recovering positions.
• While trying to break into the top 10, the rider experienced a small technical issue, which prevented him from pushing.
• Staying focused and avoiding mistakes, Zarco finished 12th, scoring points and showing cleverness and determination even in the toughest moments.
• The team is now analyzing the data to identify what happened precisely.

“I had a good start and was trying to set my rhythm, but then I started to feel something different, we had a small technical issue. I tried to stay focused, avoid mistakes, and finish the race in the best way possible. We did it, and we scored points, which is good for my confidence. Even with the difficulties, we made progress today, and that’s important as we look ahead to the next race in Australia.”
