Clever race for Johann Zarco in Japan

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco finished 11th on Sunday race at the Mobility Resort Motegi.

Frenchman Zarco and the crew have done a solid job in Japan and have scored points again, classifying as the first Honda in the standings. Zarco’s performance was not just about avoiding mistakes but also about his clever strategy to improve from yesterday’s Sprint. He almost broke into the top 10 and fought until the last inch of the race.
Today’s result proves that HRC, the riders, and everybody involved in the team are working hard to improve and keep taking steps forward.

“We almost got to the top 10 and this is important. During today’s race I tried to not make mistakes and be always there ready to attack. I expected a last battle, but rivals were struggling, and I believe we all tried to finish in the best possible position without taking risks. It’s been a positive weekend overall”.
