Mid-season is underway with Fabio Quartararo wearing the French colors high. Until Assen, he had made the perfect journey with the equipment he has at his disposal and which can only be brought to this level of performance under the impetus of solid talent. Third in the championship is also a Frenchman in the person of Johann Zarco who enjoys the bike that everyone envies: the Ducati. The field finally has a French team in its squad. What individual rating could we give to our compatriots? An Italian took care of it with, what’s more, appreciations…
It's the essential Charles Pernat who delivered himself on GP One to the scoring work, at this half-time of a campaign already rich in emotions. To all lord, all honor, the one who is also the manager of Tony Arbolino and D'Enea Bastianini started the exercise with the reigning World Champion and leader of the provisional general classification, fabio quartararo. Here is his bulletin: “I could have given him 10, but I take away 2 points for Assen’s mistake ».
And he adds, as if to show that one must never show weakness in this merciless competition: “ we thought he was calm, he had managed other races and now he is in an important moment. At Silverstone, Fabio will have to prove that he has learned his lesson. It will be very important ". And all the more so since Assen's ghost will still haunt him at Silverstone since the official Yamaha will be forced to serve a long lap following the Batavian actions, which were finally sanctioned.
"Johann Zarco lacks the spark"
The same Charles Pernat then focuses on a Johann zarco, third in the championship after the first eleven Grands Prix: “ he is a pilot who understands a lot of things and in fact Ducati makes him try a lot of equipment, but it still lacks the spark. He's on the podium but he can't win, maybe it's a mental block. It has to succeed » says the Italian who gives it a 7/10.
Our green country is also represented by the coat of arms Tech3. Within this stable we find two KTM led by two rookies. And Carlo Pernat Don't give them an average. On Remy Gardner, he comments: “ much more was expected of him. He always blames the bike but a beginner must also know how to ride over problems and he didn't do that ».
If you found this harsh, wait for the following with Raul fernandez... " After the back and forth between Yamaha and KTM for this pseudo-phenomenon, he rather showed that there is hardly any phenomenon. His bike is not to be thrown away and at KTM it is not blowing good air towards him, you have to be careful ". The pair ofHervé Poncharal comes out with a 4/10 and she is already dressed for winter…
