Johann Zarco is fully primed and fired up for the round six battle at the iconic and world famous Mugello circuit where he aims to power to ahighly impressive result.
Zarco will arrive in Italy with added determination after memorably clinching his maiden MotoGP podium at his home Grand Prix in Le Mans just under two weeks ago, and will seek to fight inside the top five once again.
“After the finishing on the podium in France, I have a high level of motivation for the Italian GP,” the Yamaha Tech 3 rider said. “Yet, I must keep my feet on the ground because I need to continue learning so that I can understand this bike well in order to finish as strongly as possible in all of the races.”
“The Mugello circuit is very different when compared to Le Mans because there are a lot of fast corners and we need to use a smooth riding style. There is only one hard braking point which is at the first corner, after the long straight over the hill, and here, the bike moves a lot so it will be very interesting and exciting to experience this on a MotoGP bike.”
“For me, the circuit is one that I like because I have achieved some strong results in the past so I want to keep pushing. I will continue to dream about scoring another podium, which would be just fantastic for the Tech3 team and me. The Yamaha has the potential to do this so I will give my all to see how far I can get.”
Located 30km north-east of Florence in the beautiful countryside of Tuscany, Mugello is a modern circuit with excellent facilities. Bought by Ferrari back in 1988, the 5.245km track has been renovated to a high standard and has a growing reputation as one of the world's most up-to-date, scenic and safest race circuits.
