Zarco, 21 points ahead of Alex Rins in the championship, arrives at Phillip Island. A capital acquired at Motegi approached with a single unit ahead of the same Spaniard. A breath of fresh air that will allow him to approach Australia in freediving. Because this circuit never really smiled on him.
Johann zarco appreciates Phillip Island, but Phillip Island does not do any favors to zarco. The Frenchman has only had one podium finish on this site. It was during the 125cc era in 2011. Since nothing and last year, he didn't do better than seventh. But it is true that he was already World Champion.
Meanwhile, alex rins dominated his subject. So we'll have to keep an eye on driver Sito Pons, even if he will no doubt still feel the pain of his crumpled shoulder a week ago in Japan: " our rival for the title is generally strong there, he won last year and he will be there again this year » recognizes resident Ajo.
« It's a track where it's pleasant to drive. I want to understand how to go fast because I have never won a podium since I started in Moto2. Finishing in the top three would be perfect. Otherwise, you will have to be intelligent and especially try to finish in front of Rins if that is possible. This would also be a good result ».
It will be recalled that the two men will meet again in MotoGP next year. Kidneys as a Suzuki official and zarco as a Tech3 Yamaha rider.
