Catalan Grand Prix: Zarco delivers a solid performance in Saturday’s Sprint

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco finished 7th in Saturday’s Sprint at the Circuit of Barcelona-Catalunya.

• After a strong Q2, in which Zarco secured 7th on the grid, the French rider was determined to fight for a top-five finish.
• He had a good start and positioned himself in the battle, staying within the top six.
• A small mistake cost him a few positions, but Zarco remained undeterred, fought hard until the end, and crossed the line in 7th, earning solid points for the championship.

“Overall, it was a positive Saturday, and I was satisfied with qualifying. In the Sprint, I did a good start, and my target was to fight for the top five, but unfortunately, I made a mistake at Turn 10, which allowed other riders to pass. From that point, I tried to recover, but it was quite challenging. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the battles on track and felt good overall. Finishing in seventh is still a good result, and we’ll aim to fight again in tomorrow’s race.”
