Johann Zarco starts from sixth place on the grid tomorrow at the start of the Spanish Grand Prix. The French rider on the Pramac team has to get off to a good start from the second row to avoid Fabio Quartararo and the other Yamahas escaping.
“I am satisfied with the qualification“, Zarco began.” It will be an important second row. It seems like I’m close to something very important, but then I can’t get there. It’s difficult! ” Then he added, “I need to keep working with the team and finding solutions. The bike works well when needed, so I’m happy with this lap. T.I know here’s a chance to do better So I want to take advantage of it and use the bike’s full potential.”
After archiving the discussion of his qualification, # 5 turned his attention to the race, admitting that his main opponent for tomorrow’s Spanish GP will be Quartararos Yamaha.
“The most important thing will be to be consistent. We have to take advantage of the second row and get off to a good start with the Ducati to have a good fight. It will be important not to let the Yamahas escape. Fabio was very fast yesterday, but he took a big step forward in terms of speed today. He was impressive. If Pecco, Jack, and I manage to stop the Yamahas tomorrow, it will be a good Sunday. “
After all, Johann showed a special affinity for what Bagnaia said. In fact, Pecco pointed out that the Ducati can use the speed by braking hard when entering corners.
“I think it would be a good choice to copy it. With this advantage at Ducati, there is a chance that you will have fewer problems with used tires. It could be a smart thing. We’ll try to set up the bike like this. I have a completely different driving style than Pecco. But yeah, breaking hard might help me find the right key.”
