Johann Zarco
”I’m pretty disappointed to have finished the race out of ten. I made a good start and was immediately in the second group, but towards the end I did not have the right feeling with the bike and so I started doing more force on the handlebar. At this point my arms began to ache and I couldn’t be able to stayin the middle of the other riders to race for the podium. Unfortunately, we still have to fix something in our bike, but I am sure that with the team we can solve everything. “
