the superb emotion of Johann Zarco after a beautiful gesture following the floods in Valencia

This weekend was the epilogue of the 2024 MotoGP season but the last race took place in Barcelona, ​​while this last Grand Prix should have taken place in Valencia. However, the region was affected by terrible floods, which caused hundreds of victims. This last Grand Prix of the season in Barcelona was therefore placed under the sign of mutual aid and the race was dedicated to the victims of Valencia. This Barcelona Grand Prix was also the Grand Prix of solidarity and an auction took place to help the victims of these floods. Fans were able to acquire remarkable MotoGP items, including equipment signed by the riders or extraordinary motorcycles (including a World Championship-winning machine). As for Johann Zarco, one of his helmets was put up for auction and it went for €3,100. More than happy and above all touched by the auction for his helmet, Zarco hugged the winner of the auction. He confided his magnificent emotion to Paddock GP, with strong words.

Zarco was more than moved

“There was the auction there. I'm happy because we offered a helmet, and the auction went for €3,100. It was a fight between 2 French people and it took a while to take off, but in the end they put on a great challenge and I even hugged the guy who won, because it really touched me that in the end it increases. Because the one who did the bidding wasn't a showman and he didn't motivate people (laughs), so it's good that the two French people were motivated. And so I did a somersault for the show“, confided the Cannes resident, who also did not fail to be humorous by recalling another bid he made, on the side of Olympique de Marseille. “Once, at OM, we offered a combi and it went for 10,000, but there they were rich people: a meal at OM, yeah, they were rich people (laughs)”, said, very teasingly, the “Professor”, who therefore appreciated helping during this auction.
