Johann Zarco finished in tenth place during the Barcelona test, a result he is pleased with. This test, primarily focused on the development of the Honda motorcycle, has allowed the French rider to log quality laps while enhancing his overall feel for the bike. It was an effective day that plays a crucial role in his preparations for the 2025 season. Under ideal conditions, Zarco was able to complete uninterrupted laps.
A Productive Day on Track
Zarco expressed his satisfaction with a day devoid of crashes, stating, “It was a good day for me. Having great conditions helped avoid mistakes. I was cautious at the beginning, but I’m quite happy with the times that came in,” as reported by GP Inside. He also praises Honda’s direction, acknowledging that while not everything is perfect, there is significant progress. “I completed a lot of laps—quality laps and very short runs—but there were many runs overall. I returned to test rider mode. We’re trying out as much as we can. Our new bike isn’t entirely positive, so that’s information for the team to consider for the next season. However, my feelings are still improving,” Zarco noted.
Building a Strong Foundation for the Future
After a full day of testing, Zarco shared his thoughts on the overall experience, saying, “I’m seeing that I’m riding better and better; I’m happy about that. After a year with this bike and this team, it was a great test. I could truly enjoy the sessions. This is definitely not the same feeling as last year, where my sensations were somewhat diminishing. Now, I’m starting anew with fresh feelings that are progressing, which is fantastic. I’m pleased with the day, especially for not making any mistakes or crashes, and for moving forward,” the French racer remarked.
Insights from the Testing Experience
Zarco went on to discuss the specifics of what he tested during the day in Barcelona. “I don’t want to go into too much detail because that’s proprietary information for Honda, but I had my race bike and a new model. I switched over to the new bike to get an initial feel, worked on it a bit, then returned to the older model to fine-tune aspects there as well,” he explained. He transitioned between the two bikes, checking if adjustments made on one would also benefit the other. Overall, Zarco felt satisfied after a day of effective testing in Barcelona, which contrasted sharply with a season initially characterized by struggles but ultimately marked by strong performances at its conclusion.
In Summary
Johann Zarco’s tenth-place finish in the Barcelona test reflects his dedication and the progress he’s made in preparation for the 2025 season. This successful day of testing emphasizes the importance of development and understanding the nuances of his motorcycle. With solid results and a determined outlook, Zarco is gearing up for what promises to be an exciting future in the MotoGP world.
