MotoGP | GP Austria Race, Johann Zarco: “Sad and disappointed about the crash”

MotoGP GP Austria Red Bull Ring 2021 – Disappointment for Johann Zarco at the end of the last Austrian Grand Prix, the eleventh round of the 2021 MotoGP world championship. The Frenchman from Pramac, protagonist of a great race pace in the first part of the GP, suffered a fall with about ten laps to go, an aspect that did not allow him to "exploit" the chaos caused by the rain in the final laps.

A certainly wasted opportunity that hurts not only morale, but also the championship standings, given that Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) gained important points and pulled ahead of their two direct pursuers, including Zarco. Appointment in 15 days at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix, the 12th round of this 2021 world championship.

“I'm sad and a little disappointed, to tell the truth. I made the same mistake I made during the morning warm-up. I tried to push the bike to the limit to stay with the group, but unfortunately in the end I crashed. I'm especially sorry for the team, given that we managed to work really well over the weekend."
