Australian Grand Prix: Difficult Sunday for Johann Zarco in Australia

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco crashed during the Sunday race at the Phillip Island Circuit.

• After finding some positives during Saturday’s Sprint, Zarco and his team were determined to fight for points in the Sunday race.
• Zarco made a solid start and was setting his rhythm when, after the fourth lap, he crashed at turn one.
• Following a challenging weekend, both the rider and the team are committed to finding solutions to reverse the current situation and will look to bounce back in Malaysia.

“It’s a pity about the crash, but I’m fine. The first corner is never a good place to crash, but I missed the apex a bit, and from there, being a little wide with the wind, the bike started to slide. In the end, I couldn’t save it and ended up on the gravel. It’s a pity because a top 10 finish was realistic, and we were aiming for that. Malaysia will be a moment to reset and try to change the current situation.”
