Dutch Grand Prix: Zarco delivers solid ride at Assen

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco concluded the Dutch Grand Prix with a 12th-place finish in Sunday’s race at the TT Circuit Assen.

• Lining up 12th on the grid, the Frenchman approached the race with determination, focused on securing valuable championship points.
• He executed another strong launch, immediately settling into the fight and targeting the highest result possible.
• Although he felt competitive enough to challenge for a top-10 position, several setbacks during the race related to a lack of feeling with the bike hindered his progress, and he ultimately crossed the finish line in 12th place.
• Nonetheless, Zarco earned solid points, underlining his consistency and commitment.

“Despite a tough weekend, grabbing points feels rewarding. We wanted to improve, but we didn’t nail the job. We need to better understand the situation to turn things around. I was aiming for a top-10 finish, but it wasn’t easy. Of course, scoring points is important, especially after the recent results, but we need to get back to where we were a few weeks ago. We’ll try again at the Sachsenring.”
