The position is anything but usual for Johann Zarco who instead works 16 hours a day, but this video, shot the day after the Sepang tests, chose to feature the reigning double Moto2 world champion for him. ask a few questions about “relax” mode.
This video is now a month old and we will try to provide a more detailed update with the French driver very soon, either before or immediately after the tests in Qatar.
Hi Johann! How are you feeling before the start of this season?
“It’s a great experience to achieve this MotoGP dream. The bike is really fantastic and I will soon be able to race with my idol, Valentino, so it's a nice dream, but it's also a challenge to see if I can be a good rider in this category with the best riders in the world and on the best motorcycles. »
Do you prefer a dry or wet track?
“For the drivers, the dry is better because you can attack more and you feel the limit better. In the wet you can sometimes have problems but you can also sometimes have a good feeling. Sometimes you are strong and sometimes you don't have feeling and you can fall. It's more complicated in the wet and I can be strong there. Sometimes I had problems there and sometimes I had victories there, so it's hard to say, but either way it's better in the dry because we have more fun. »
What is your favorite circuit?
“It's difficult to say, because I feel good on all the circuits. I really like Argentina, it's quite fast and since the start of this circuit, I've had good performances and obtained good results. There are also many other circuits where I enjoy and where I am strong, and this championship is fantastic with all these great circuits all around the world, and it is the best experience a driver can have. »
What is the biggest difference between a Moto2 and a MotoGP?
“The most complicated thing is all the information we have on the bike. We can work on many points and many adjustments, from the suspensions to the electronics and the tires. So that's a lot of information for the pilot, and when we encounter a problem, we have a lot of solutions to resolve it. I think that makes things more complicated. The bike also has a lot of power and this also makes things complicated. So the biggest difference is power, and because of that power, tuning the bike is more important. »
