Argentina Grand Prix: Johann Zarco secures 4th place in Saturday’s Sprint

• Johann Zarco delivered a tremendous performance in qualifying, securing third place on the grid.
• Today’s qualifying session placed Honda back in the front row, a position they haven’t held since the 2023 Grand Prix of Italy.
• During the Sprint, Zarco fought hard to contend for a podium finish, but early challenges in the opening laps hindered his ability to close the gap to the leaders.
• The 4th place provides Zarco and the team with valuable data, which will be used to fine-tune their strategy and push for a podium finish once again in tomorrow’s race.

“Taking third in qualifying was amazing. After that, I believed the podium was possible, and indeed it was. The start of the Sprint wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t bad either. Even though I was in 6th, I managed to overtake some strong riders, and that’s important. That was positive. I expected to have a better pace than Pecco, but it wasn’t enough. In the final laps, the top three were strong, but I think tomorrow, with a different tyre choice, I’ll have more chances. Let’s see. I’m enjoying this weekend, and I’d like to thank the team, the sponsors, and everyone supporting us!”
