GP Austria Red Bull Ring Ducati MotoGP 2022 – Excellent start at the Red Bull Ring for Johann Zarco, who achieved the best time on day 1 of the Austrian Grand Prix aboard the Ducati Pramac.

The Frenchman, fresh from the crash at Silverstone, will try to make up for it on Austrian soil. The first victory in MotoGP has not yet arrived and the #5 of Ducati spoke about it to Sky Sport.

His team-mate Jorge Martin achieved the third fastest time and didn't want to talk about the market, it's better to stay focused on the track.

“First victory? Sometimes it's difficult to accept waiting so long but I'm coping with anxiety, I haven't put everything in place yet and what happened at Silverstone was good for me because I hadn't been in front of a race for a long time, I need to build, there have been so many difficult moments that even though I won two titles, we need to rebuild confidence. I feel pretty strong.”

“I'm quite confident for tomorrow and Sunday, I like the new chicane. The first run I had the tires from this morning, I felt a lot of front locking and then we tried a new fairing, the feeling wasn't bad and I think we'll take another step tomorrow. In the last few races I've gained confidence, I'm getting closer and closer to the leaders, I hope to have a good race and stay in front.”
