Johann Zarco scores points in Assen

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco has finished 13th on Sunday at Assen.

After yesterday’s Sprint, Frenchman Zarco and the crew knew that tyre choice would be one of the primary critical points for today’s race due to the track conditions. They followed the plan and used the medium compound on the bike’s rear and front end. As the laps went by, the rider handled the situation to squeeze his package, and finally, being clever and not making mistakes, he crossed the line 13th, grabbing solid points and classifying as the first Honda in the standings.

“We did a good step; fighting for the points has been important for us. Compared to yesterday’s Sprint, we’ve controlled the situation better, which is positive. We are working hard to be at the level of our competitors. Overall, I’ve felt comfortable on the bike and am happy to have enjoyed today’s race”.
