MotoGP, Argentina Day 3. Johann Zarco highlights the Honda's weak point: "The engine is still too light."

Honda took a step forward at the MotoGP Argentine Grand Prix, as clearly demonstrated Johann zarco.

Saturday, Johann zarco sneaked onto the front row of the grid with a time of 1'37.205, having also held the top positions since FP1 and Friday's free practice. In the Sprint, he crossed the checkered flag in fourth position and yesterday, in the race, he finished sixth. In short, Honda's weekend results are surely the most positive in recent years, as the French pilot explained and as our contributor reported to us Manuel Pecino.

Good feelings for Zarco…
“I’m very happy. I managed to get a good start and gain confidence, and I was able to overtake Pecco right from the start of the race. Then he attacked me again and overtook me, without me being able to react. As I said, I’m happy, although I don’t deny that I’m a little disappointed. In fact, I wanted to fight until the end to keep Di Giannantonio behind, but unfortunately I couldn’t, because the bike was moving a lot. Despite everything, it was a fantastic day: I tried everything to get on the podium and stay with the leaders, but I didn't succeed. »

At the start of the race he fought with Bagnaia…
"Pecco was riding well, but at the beginning I had good grip and was able to be aggressive. I was also surprised by Morbidelli, who got ahead of me. However, I'm happy with what I did, especially in terms of performance. This weekend we had a great opportunity to get on the podium and that's important."

Honda's step forward...
"Now I'm riding the Honda well and trying to exploit its strengths, like the front, which gives us a lot of confidence. We also have good cornering ability; in fact, we're using the throttle well. Unfortunately, the engine is still too weak, so we have to push it, trying to reduce some vibrations."

Lucio Cecchinello is satisfied with Johann Zarco's work...
"I enjoy it and I want to go even further. I am a pilot who has learned to appreciate even the difficulties."
