Johann Zarco finishes 10th in Valencia’s Saturday Sprint

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco finished 10th in Saturday’s Sprint in Valencia.
  • After securing a Q2 spot, the Frenchman started the Sprint from 11th on the grid, determined to score points.
  • He made his strongest start of the season, placing himself in the fight.
  • However, due to a lack of feeling at the braking points, Zarco was unable to push as much as he wanted and eventually crossed the line in 10th place, analyzing his rivals and gathering valuable information ahead of Sunday’s race.
Johann Zarco 10th 
“I chose the medium rear tyre because it was the one I felt most comfortable with, and overall it worked well for me. We were expecting a bit more, but it was still the best option for the full Sprint distance. In the end, I didn’t gain any real advantage from it, which is why the result fell short of our expectations. We’ve gathered good information for tomorrow, especially since we’ll be doing twice as many laps as today. Even without scoring points, we did some solid work throughout the day. Now let’s try to finish the season tomorrow with a better result!”
