Johann Zarco is ready to fight back. His fourth place finish at Phillip Island was a little hard for the Frenchman to swallow, beaten to the line by the Yamahas of Rossi and Vinales. The rider is therefore ready for a new challenge in Malaysia and he's feeling confident: “Sepang is a nice track, and I believe my experience after almost a full season, will be useful having tested there at the beginning of the year”.
The Frenchamn refers back to the latest round, where he crossed the line fourth. It is from there that he wants to start this time around, with a clear goal: “ The Australian GP was amazing and I am so happy about the feeling that I had on the bike in the race. Therefore, I hope to fight for the podium or even the victory again with the tops guys this weekend. The weather will be difficult as it is always so hot in Malaysia. This is why I need to prepare and manage myself well with the team and save my energy so that I can be strong in the GP."
On the other side of the garage, the Frenchman will have a new team-mate, or rather Michael van der Mark. The Dutchman will finally having chance to ride the M1 after having missed out at Aragon: “When Hervé called I couldn't say no. I know Sepang, but the MotoGP riders have done a lot of tests there this year. I just want to enjoy this weekend, to improve myself and see how it is to ride the YZR-M1."
