It is as a leader that Johann zarco left Jerez de la Frontera after the official MotoGP IRTA test day at the Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto.
Enough to erase the bitterness of a Spanish Grand Prix which ended with a crash on the 10th lap while he was in 9th position. A forgotten race, which the Pramac driver did by working on all the points that he mentioned on numerous occasions, whether it was confidence when entering corners and in fast curves, or the problem of being completely at comfortable on the bike to maintain your initial energy level and be able to perform until the end of a race.
The Frenchman finished the day with the best time in 1'37.136, an intermediate time between that achieved to catch up during Q1 (1'37.003) and that obtained in Q2 (1'37.220) which earned him sixth place on the rack.
On the official website MotoGP.com, John Zarco said: “An interesting day! We work on feeling to feel better on the bike and find a way to ride more comfortably. I think we did some good things, and yes, I'm happy with the time! I also did a lot of laps in big 37s, so that was really good. I just tried to improve my level on this Ducati to be stronger in each race. We continue to use the strong point of the bike, which is the front end, so we really pushed it to give me more feedback. Then, also the rear in order to have more confidence in very fast turns when you open the throttle. When you can work calmly during a test, things always come easier, so I'm happy that I was able to do a lot of laps and get a better feeling after the crash in Jerez. I can't wait to be at Le Mans! »
