Johann Zarco’s front tyre “never reached temperature” before crashing out of sixth in German MotoGP.
At the German MotoGP, LCR Honda acknowledged responsibility for Johann Zarco’s crash due to abnormal tyre temperature. Zarco, starting from the front row, lost control on lap 18, attributing it to the front tyre not reaching optimal temperature. LCR confirmed the tyre temperature issue and will thoroughly analyze the incident for feedback. Zarco revealed the front tyre’s temperature dropped below the critical range, causing the crash at less than 70 degrees. With hindsight, Zarco believes letting Quartararo pass could have prevented the crash by regaining tyre temperature in his slipstream. Despite the crash under yellow flags, Zarco avoided post-race penalties and now prepares for the Czech Grand Prix at Brno.
