Johann Zarco is now on vacation and the Honda driver is resting before returning to training with a view to doing better in the 2025 season. While he gave everything for his first exercise with Honda, the Cannes driver n he will not have deserved but will have started too far to fight for the first places in the general classification. He will have finally finished the season in 17th place in the drivers' standings and Zarco wants more for 2025. But before turning to this future season, the Honda driver spoke about the last race of the season in Barcelona, he a week ago, and he expressed a big disappointment about it.
Zarco disappointed on a specific point
The LCR Honda driver commented on his 14th place obtained during this last Grand Prix of the season, arguing that he ranked at this level due to a sub-optimal tire choice. In comments transcribed by MotorCycleSports, Zarco said: “I made a bad choice for the rear tire. My front tire was the best tire I felt I was on, and I had no problems during the race. But the rear tire, it was expected to not have any extra performance at the beginning, so it was expected to struggle at the beginning, but then get stronger at the end. But I wasn't any stronger at the end, so that means I lost time at the beginning. It seems like the tender one would have worked. It was good to try. I know I control the hard rear tire well, but on this track it doesn't help. It was good to see the others perform with the soft, and they lost some performance at the end. But we lost the same performance with the hard one. So, I was a little disappointed with this bad choice, but you have to make decisions, go for it and try.“The Cannes driver would have liked to finish higher during this final Grand Prix of the season but this was not the case and he is now focusing on the next season.
