One Zarcomania can hide another…
Generally, Zarcomania is rather noisy and lively. A crowd of enthusiasts, a first name chanted, arms outstretched, phones too...
But sometimes it's much more discreet. And undoubtedly even more powerful and stronger...
Friday afternoon, in front of Tech3 hospitality, a man waited for long minutes in his wheelchair. His legs were amputated, as were his arms. He is waiting…
We ask him the question “Are you waiting for Johann?” ».
He answers " Yes ! It’s great what he does and I would love a photo with him”.
Finally, Johann Zarco arrives and willingly lends himself to the requested photo. The man simply thanks him and his face, already smiling, lights up even more.
He didn't say who he was and, ultimately, it didn't matter, because at that moment he was just another admirer of Johann Zarco.
In fact, we had recognized Frederic Sausset, an extraordinary character about whom we have already spoken to you (see here), who made a name for himself by participating and finishing the 24 2016 hours of Le Mans despite his quadruple amputation, before participating in this year's Paris-Dakar.
Another exceptional life lesson, bringing the term respect to its peak!
So don’t tell us that three little drops of rain will discourage you from coming to experience such moments at Le Mans…
