Johann Zarco DNF

“I’m disappointed. Yesterday I felt good, but I believe I didn’t provide the best feedback, as today I didn’t find the feeling. During the Sprint, I expected to struggle, and that’s what happened, it was difficult to manage the tyre because of it. This evening, we’ll work on solutions and carefully analyze how to improve. It’s a pity because we wanted to keep the momentum, but tomorrow we’ll have another chance to try and see how it pans out.”
