Zarco falls in the last corner of the Sprint, “a young person’s mistake”

In a completely crazy race, where the Jerez track did no favors for anyone, Johann Zarco could have achieved an incredible result... before making a mistake in the last corner, on the last lap. The French driver started 13th on the grid. He managed to make his way through avoiding all the problems, which propelled him up to 5th place.

On the last lap of the Sprint race, Johann Zarco was in battle with Franco Morbidelli; the Cannes resident tried to keep his position. The Italian dives and overtakes him on the inside entering turn 13. The Honda driver loses the rear and falls, the result is cruel since he will ultimately finish the race in 12th place. “There are only insults that come to mind, so I cannot say them, protests the person concerned. The boules… Because even 6th we say to ourselves “it’s good, it’s a little point, we’re not playing for the championship”. »

A little too greedy

Despite this fall which hurts (figuratively), the Cannes resident does not give up and even sees some positive in this error!

“This fault does not change the quality of the race, it was good, Zarco reassures himself. Hooking Fabio (Quartararo) and Danny (Daniel Pedrosa) was not bad, thinking about overtaking them meant that there was a good attack. And if we want to see even more positives, it's still having this enthusiasm, like a young person. It seems like a young mistake to want to transplant inside Morbidelli. It’s a sign of good niac, of freshness, and therefore of young people’s mistakes (Laughs)! »
