Johann Zarco will only be on the first day of the two scheduled test days at Misano. The Frenchman will undergo surgery this Wednesday to end his pain in his forearm, the result of compartment syndrome.
Johann Zarco has suffered one more race. The Frenchman was able to save a few points for the championship in the last Misano race. Three points that help the brand in its particular fight with Yamaha, although they know little for a rider who was fighting for the MotoGP championship until a few races ago. However, the Frenchman has been affected by a problem in his forearm that will make him undergo surgery this Wednesday, having to sacrifice a day of testing on the Italian track. He will complete the tests this Tuesday to fly to France in the afternoon and undergo surgery for compartment syndrome, hoping to arrive at the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin next week.
Complicated race: “It was a very difficult race. I was hoping to have a better rhythm and stay with the good group, but the beginning was very hard. The tires were slipping a bit and I quickly lost positions. Just when I could get a better rhythm I had to do a long loop because I skipped Turn 1 passing Nakagami; I followed the small step so as not to cut the circuit but it looks like it should have made it a little slower. This penalty did not help to maintain a good pace and then I had problems with the left side of my rear tire, which was completely destroyed. My arm hurt with 10 laps to go. I think I could have done it, but overall I should have had a higher pace, 1’32.5. I didn’t have it and I did the best race I could ”.
I expected more: “In hot, after the race, I am disappointed with the result and with the fact that it took me so long to maintain a good pace. However, it was better than Silverstone or Aragon. There were some good things this weekend, but sadly it didn’t translate into the race. The first objective was to finish and not fall, I have been able to endure and it is physically difficult but I am going to the end. Afterward, my arm might bother me more than I think. Right now I am disappointed because the difficult period is longer than I thought. It is never easy to live when you want to act. It is a difficult moment that I have to swallow while I wait for better days ”.
It will be operated this week after the test: “On Tuesday I will do the first day of tests, at night I will return to France, I will sleep in Aix-en-Provence and on Wednesday morning I will be in the operating room.”
He hopes to be at the GP of the Americas: “Austin is a great circuit where the Ducati can have an advantage with the engine. But there are a lot of changes of direction, which is never very easy with the Ducati. There are positives and negatives, we will have to deal with them. If there is a big difference in the feel with the arm, maybe that will set me free. “
Bagnaia: “His strong point is the braking, that’s where he gains time. Not because you brake much later, but because you can position the bike in a way that allows you to enter the corner quickly and turn well. When he can apply it, he puts a good second in the second, gets into his rhythm and maintains it. “
