Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider Johann Zarco commenced the Australian Grand Prix today with instant speed after powering to 8th at the close of the first day.
He kicked off the weekend by rocketing to 2nd in Free Practice 1 and built up his pace in the afternoon before finishing 0.354 back from the top three.
"It was a positive opening day and I am happy that I started with a solid pace,โ he said. โIn FP1, the bike felt good and I could ride some decent times quite early on. This gave me confidence and so, I was able to relax and I worked with the team to progress even more.โ
โIn the afternoon, I could not be faster than this morning, as my personal best was almost the same time, yet everyone was quick and we are close."
"This means that it's not easy to make big improvements but I am pushing and I hope that we can find solutions. The main area of focus is the stability because the wind and the speed of this track make the bike move a lot and this is what we will work on."
