Johann Zarco joked that he “was waiting 8 hours” after misjudging the final lap in a tight Austrian MotoGP battle.
Johann Zarco joked about possibly waiting 8 hours in a four-rider battle during the Austrian MotoGP. Despite finishing just 0.056s behind Franco Morbidelli, Zarco didn’t realize it was the final lap. He noted disappointment in not keeping up with the leading group and struggled with rear grip control throughout the weekend.
Zarco found it challenging to maintain cornering freedom during the race. While he attempted to match Morbidelli’s pace, he mistakenly missed the race’s conclusion. Zarco now shifts focus to the upcoming race in Hungary at Balaton Park, anticipating a tough competition against Ducati riders.
Even though he lost eighth place in the championship standings, Zarco remains confident in his ability to adapt quickly to the new track despite competitors’ potential advantages.
