Johann Zarco takes points in Portimao

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco finished 15th on Sunday race in Portimao

Twenty-five laps at the rollercoaster in Portimao served the Frenchman rider to finally get to the points. Zarco had some troubles at the start and lost some positions. However, he demonstrated cleverness, and without losing concentration, he managed to handle the race and got to the 15th position.

Overall, the Portuguese Grand Prix has been more challenging than expected. The next weeks will be useful to determine which areas need to be analyzed and improved ahead of the next race (Circuit of the Americas, 14th April).

“It’s been a tough race; I didn’t expect to struggle this way. Lap after lap we’ve learned many things and, in the end, we’ve grabbed a point. We now have a direction to follow, which will help us in Austin”.
