On the sidelines of the Austrian Grand Prix which opened its hostilities on its Red Bull Ring, Johann Zarco spoke to the microphone of Sky Sport. The Frenchman is an official KTM rider, a manufacturer who is playing at home this weekend and who is therefore particularly sensitive to the event and the image he will give there. As a result, each word distilled counts on its national lands for the coat of arms of Mattighofen and here are those of the Frenchman…
Becoming an official driver for a manufacturer is the ultimate goal of every driver entered in a Grand Prix. A happiness that happened to Johann zarco this year, since he is a direct representative of the factory KTM. But gifts can also be poisoned like hell paved with good intentions. It is indeed nothing to say that the double Moto2 World Champion does not know the fulfillment under the awning of the Austrian manufacturer. A situation that he admitted again in an interview: “ honestly, I feel frustrated. I was hoping to be in a much better situation at this point, but I can't find satisfaction ».
« It's difficult to hide something, it's a young team and an official bike, but I can't express myself. Sometimes I force myself to change my character by telling myself that I could be satisfied with the results I have, but I can't do it, it hurts my stomach.e” admits the tricolor. “ At the moment we are working hard, but nothing is working ».
He pursues : " maybe it will come later, but I'm not coping well with this moment. If we look back at Lorenzo and his Ducati period, we can have hope. But during this time, Dovizioso was winning races and he was fighting for the title. Here it's different. I don't know when it will be better than now ". He finishes : " to be tenth? I can't say at the moment. I have to keep pushing no matter what. Because I really want to do well ».
