Johann Zarco ended the first non-ducati driver at the Qatar Grand Prix, finished fourth. A result that makes the Honda clan shine, of which he is the best ambassador at the start of the season.
The best result of a Honda since 2023: “Maybe I was even more confident on the motorcycle. I saw that my start -up was very good and it put me in confidence. I felt it yesterday on the sprint, even with the problems we had on both laps. I saw that there was control, a possibility of doubled. I rather kept that in the head for Sunday, then hoping that the vibrations are under control. In terms of attack, let’s say, I had confidence in my speed. So, I could better project myself on how to attack. And that did good. »»
A competitive Honda everywhere at the start of the season: “Yes, it’s true that it makes us four quite different circuits. Large circuits, anyway. That’s why Europe can be very interesting. I do not see why it would not also work in Europe, with all the things that we manage to understand. But yes, it’s really cool. I am very happy to see the first, to finish at 6 seconds, to hope for the podium during the race. Because I was under control, a little hard but under control anyway. That’s good. »»
