If, with the English, History has demonstrated that there could be a cordial understanding, in MotoGP, between our two French people, we see a real complicity. When Fabio Quartararo achieved success in Spain, and it was his first victory like that of the French motorcycle in MotoGP, Johann Zarco came to congratulate him in the middle of a press conference. Then when the same Zarco beat the identical Quartararo to gain pole position in Brno, the second complimented the first. To our delight, they often meet at the end of the game in front of the cameras. Hope it lasts…
Until fabio quartararo tumbled into MotoGP last year, shaking up the hierarchy, the French motorcycle leader in MotoGP was Johann zarco. But while he was entangled in poor choices, the Petronas colors were making the right one by signing fabio quartararo who, since then, has exceeded all the hopes that the Malaysian team placed in him.
“What he does motivates me”
Pushed back into the shadows, Johann zarco refocused on himself, patiently familiarized himself with his Ducati, and here he came back to the light. But there was also the healthy emulation of his young compatriot. At the microphone of RMC Sport, the double Moto2 World Champion commented on fabio quartararo : " he's a young high-achiever so I'm glad to see he's performing like this. For me, it allows me to learn even more things, about how to do better. We get along really well. What he does motivates me. He did something historic in Spain and I'm happy to experience it being in the category at that time ».
This weekend, in Austria, the two French people will be keen to write a little more history…
