Johann, it was just incredible: how did you do it?

Johann zarco : " I'm just happy! I'm just happy and I can't even believe I got pole position today! I have done a good job since Friday and, above all, with a new tire and over one lap, I have improved my time a lot. This is positive for working and going directly to Q2, then hoping for a good qualification. I did a good FP3 and went straight to Q2, which was already a great satisfaction, but at the start of qualifying, the first tire was slipping a little too much because of the heat and I couldn't be as good. fast as I had been this morning. So I wasn't worried but still a little bit. With the second tire, I was finally able to better manage my gap with the drivers I was following. It was a good group, with Morbidelli, Valentino, Petrucci and Binder. I was right behind them and I played well with the gap, and this way I was able to control the grip at the rear much better, and with that I was able to use the acceleration correctly. the bike, and the timer came. »
« So I'm very happy and I have to use this good position to get off to a good start tomorrow. The pace is not yet the best to be able to hope for victory but at least I will see a lot of things and I am still learning this bike and improving. So we're going to do the best we can tomorrow and control well, because I think that with the rear tire, lap after lap, it's going to be a little complicated. »
