In Aragon, the main opponent Johann Zarco will face will not be the other drivers but the pressure he will feel, and already feels, due to the loss of almost his entire championship lead in the last few races .
Imperial all the way to Austria, where the reigning world champion was 34 points ahead of Alex Rins, the Ajo driver only has 3 heading into this round in Aragon. And the concerns do not stop there, since the Spanish driver was injured during this period, and all the tests went well for the Frenchman, unlike the races.
We will therefore have to have the true mentality of a champion to, on the land of Alex Rins, not think about all these strangenesses and assimilate them to a sort of curse...
“Jojo”, as his friend and coach Laurent Fellon calls him, can do it!
Johann zarco: “We approach this round as leaders of the World Championship and simply take it as a new race. We are focused on putting in a good performance from practice on Friday, to have the best race possible. Our strategy is not changing, but there will obviously be more pressure and we have to work even harder to contain it.
I like the MotorLand Aragon circuit. It's fast, with very interesting turns and the wind tends to play an important role. Last year it didn't go as hoped: it was my first chance to win the title and I wasn't as fast as I would have liked, but I learned from it. However, in 125cc in 2011 and in Moto2 in 2014, I got on the podium there, and so it's a circuit that is good for me. We hope to fight for victory. “
