Zarco admits thoughts that first MotoGP win ‘is not going to happen’
The double Moto2 world champion, Johann Zarco, made his MotoGP debut in 2017 and has been striving for his first victory ever since. Although he has come close on multiple occasions, he always fell short. However, he finally clinched his maiden MotoGP class victory in a thrilling Australian GP, snatching it from his Pramac team-mate Jorge Martin on the last lap. Zarco admitted that there were times when he thought he might never achieve this milestone, but he maintained a competitor’s mentality and focused on doing his job to the fullest. He attributes his success to his tire-saving riding style on the medium compound, which worked in his favor in Australia. Zarco acknowledges that the current MotoGP riding style, which emphasizes confidence in the front and leaning the bike in the corner entry, is not natural for him, but he has been working on adapting to it. Winning at Phillip Island holds a special significance for Zarco, as it is a beloved track among riders.
