Czech Grand Prix: Zarco scores points in Brno Sprint

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco secured 8th place in Saturday’s Sprint at Brno.

• The French rider qualified 9th after a crash hindered his chances of achieving a better grid position.
• Despite this, Johann remained focused and composed, delivering a strong start and staying with the leading group throughout the Sprint.
• Opting for the soft rear tyre, he pushed hard and competed fiercely until the final moments, making no mistakes and extracting the maximum performance from his package to finish 8th.
• With dry conditions forecasted for tomorrow, Johann and the team look forward to another opportunity to push for the best possible results.
• Overall, the team has made notable progress in dry conditions throughout this weekend’s sessions, which is an encouraging sign moving forward.

“I’m happy to score some points, it’s never easy in the Sprint. We went with the soft rear tyre and I think it was a good decision. I wanted to stay in the fight. In the group it was tough to overtake, but I managed to stay there and felt pretty good. Once the tyre started to drop off, it got harder to turn the bike, but overall we did a good job. We finished the race and took some points, which is always important. Let’s see what happens tomorrow, we still have to decide on tyres and will talk it through with the team later.”
