Johann, you showed your speed yesterday, today you had time to get on the podium. How gentle is this one for you?
Johann zarco : " I feel good (laughs). I feel good because it was difficult. In the end, I was a little limited. I wanted to catch up with Marc and Jorge but it was too limited. I didn't want to make a mistake. Fortunately, Marc made this mistake and I thought maybe I would put pressure on my teammate, but he was quite strong. Third place was therefore a good thing. The start was good too, but in turn 6, Álex Márquez came into the corner quite quickly. So I avoided it and what I had gained at the start I lost again in turn 6. So I had to fight a little at the back with a lot of crashes. It was hard. And also with Fernández: He was quite fast and it was difficult to overtake him. I couldn't stay very close, so I had to wait a bit for the revs to drop, then I was able to find a good rhythm. So I'm very happy. A podium here for the French Grand Prix and for the 1th GP of the entire world championship, it's a great honor and I'm really proud today. »
