Consistent race for Johann Zarco in Australia
Phillip IslandCASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco crossed the line 12th on Sunday at the Phillip Island Circuit.
After a solid weekend, a good start, a clever mind, and a consistent pace have been today's keys for Johann Zarco's fight for the top 10. The rider performed a strong race on Australian soil, as the conditions were better than yesterday's Sprint, allowing him to do the maximum he could with his package. However, his ability to manage tyre wear truly set him apart. This strategic skill permitted him to maintain momentum and fight hard against rivals, crossing the line 12th and being the first Honda in the classification.

The rider's early struggles didn't deter him from pushing forward, even though it prevented him from reaching the points. He finally crossed the line 18th, grabbing crucial information ahead of the next races.
I'm happy; it's been a positive race. Of course, I wanted to reach the top 10, but rivals didn't make it easy, so I pushed as much as possible. In any case, we've confirmed our step forward in a different track this weekend. I could keep a fast and constant pace, and this is positive.

The first laps of the race were complicated; I couldn't be as fast as I wanted. However, as the laps went by, I could understand the situation and keep a constant pace. Overall, we need to improve our performance at the beginning of the race.
