This weekend at Le Mans, Frenchman Johann Zarco will showcase his Moto2 World Champion title in front of his home crowd. An honor and a challenge because to maintain your rank, there is no other option than to aim for victory. The Ajo driver will therefore have work to do, especially at the end of a complicated Spanish campaign in Jerez where the Englishman Sam Lowes dominated his subject. Listen to the anthem of perfidious Albion in the land of France? Bullshit!
Johann zarco has never won a French Grand Prix. However, he had a podium there last year, a third place which gave him the taste of returning to the flag ceremony at home. But to make the Marseillaise sing this time: “ it was indeed nice last year to be like this in front of the French fans » remembers the one who is third overall, 16 lengths behind Sam Lowes. “ Taking a win at home would be just fantastic. I will fight for this ».
« Jerez taught us a lot of things because it is in difficult times that we learn the best lessons. I will have to organize myself well for the weekend and be 100%. I would like to be with the fans, but when I get on the bike I have to be totally prepared and focused to be on the same level as a Sam Lowes in Jerez. He was the strongest there and I want to be the strongest at Le Mans ". The challenge is launched, on a route which always gives Johann a lot of work.
