Johann Zarco, godfather of the FFM speed sector in search of the French champions of tomorrow, this is not a pipe dream and even less display. The Pramac Ducati rider in MotoGP, fifth in the last elite championship and double Moto2 World Champion, traveled to the Jura to put on the leather like helmet and even the hat to grind down a karting track with it, literally , the young next generation. A real act of faith with a federal team that unites in this mission which should reveal the best national pilots within five years...
Five years is in fact the deadline set John Zarco, compatriot of the reigning World Champion in MotoGP fabio quartararo. The Cannes resident gives of himself in this ambition of FFM to demonstrate that, to fill the starting grids in Grand Prix, there is no obligation to learn only in an Italian academy or in Spain. There is certainly everything to build, but that is precisely the beauty of this project, to which many names who have had to fend for themselves to climb the ladder are making their solid contribution.
The words of Johann zarco are also clear: “ I am here because I am a French pilot supported by the federation for many years. If I can help young people by setting an example, ride a little with them to energize everyone a little, well I try to make myself available. We're in the middle of winter, so we're taking advantage of it. My goal is really to energize the group, to think about how to always do better. It's good that I'm here because I have this mentality and I can show that there is always a way to do better, that there is room for improvement. ».
John Zarco: “I just want to set an example because every time saying that it’s better elsewhere is a mistake”
« I love riding with them and showing them. I can't follow their entire season, because I also have my season to do. At least, after having opened their eyes in this way, the federation trainers can then insist on that, or remind them “you remember when Johann did that or when he said that”, and that motivates the kids » said the tricolor.
« I accepted this role as sponsor because I was already able to experience the flight school. It's a pedagogy that we must have with kids and it would be good to have new French people in, at least five years I would say. And as for me, we can do it. It's not just the Spanish and Italians who can achieve this. I just want to set an example because every time saying that it's better elsewhere is a mistake. ". The rest of this noble approach is in this edifying video…
