A week after an abandonment at Assen which caused a lot of ink and saliva to flow, Johann Zarco is back on the KTM to face the turnstile of the Sachsenring this time. Afterwards, it will be the summer break which will be good for everyone. The ideal would be to go on vacation while avoiding another disappointment…

Otherwise, it will be ruminated for a return to school which would present itself under bad auspices. But this throwing of the sponge in the Netherlands beat the men of KTM. In Germany, Johann zarco promises that the scenario will be different: “ It's not nice to say this, but in Assen I had to stop. I hope it only happens once. I didn't want to risk a heavy fall. Jorge and Valentino fell while trying to ride fast. My fighter attitude is back » assures the double Moto2 World Champion at Speedweek.

« Maybe it was more difficult in Assen because I have been fighting for six months and can't find any solution. But I'm back and I'll do the work I have to do " added zarco. " Here at the Sachsenring it's totally different, I wouldn't have this problem. I think I can find the rhythm here so as not to have too many physical problems ».

He finishes : " I probably made the mistake at Assen of working for a good lap, but only one lap. This can sometimes open new doors, so you feel comfortable on the bike. I've never done more than five laps in a row, it's not really a good strategy for a race ».

zarco Will he choose a different strategy in the future and save energy in the early stages of the race? “ We'll see. The upcoming races are distant for me, because then we will have the summer break ».
