Johann Zarco does not seem to have too low morale since the missed opportunity at Silverstone, the last MotoGP meeting to date, to finally open his victory counter in the category. He even looks very good given the comment he made about the new chicane that has been added to the Red Bull Ring route and which will give a new look to this Austrian Grand Prix. The tricolor in fact recalled the events that led to his birth, which are not, however, good memories for him...
We will therefore recall that two years ago in MotoGP, John Zarco et Franco Morbidelli stuck in this fast section, now castrated by this chicane, a racing incident which could have ended very badly. There Ducati and Yamaha of the aforementioned had in fact continued their mad race, flying to pieces and throwing themselves back onto the track, brushing against Maverick Vinales et Valentino Rossi then everything is their competition. By some miracle, everyone escaped with a big scare.
Johann Zarco: “ after all the insults I received...«
But emotion was strong in the Tavullia clan who gave the signal to charge the isolated Johann zarco which was then in balance with Pecco Bagnaia, from VR46, for the official position at Ducati. And he took it on the head of the one who was still an Avintia driver... He was even sanctioned afterwards, not without having responded on the track with a fiery qualification. But all that is ancient history, or almost…
Car Johann zarco still remembers this Italian cabal. He made it known with this daring touch of humor which still reveals the dimension of the man... The moment has arrived at the moment to comment on the new chicanery: “ after all the insults I received two years ago, I'm a little disappointed that the new chicane doesn't have my name ... ". There it is, it is said… But he also analyzes: “ we should continue to have decent advantages on this track. But the benefits won't be as great as before because all other bikes have been greatly improved. Even for the Yamaha, which is very good at changing direction and using corners, this should not provide any benefit » said the pilot Ducati. " The chicane is too slow to give them an advantage. Sudden braking and another phase of acceleration will always work for us"
