Zarco produced his best performance in MotoGP last Saturday as he carved his way through ✨the lead group during the closing stages, before overtaking team-mate Jorge Martin on the final lap.

“I woulꦦd love to make this little step,” said Zarco. “It is only a little step bꦕut it’s a step nonetheless to make in the last few races to finish this Ducati chapter in the best way possible.”
After coming close to victory on 🐻several occasions but always feeling like something was missing, Zarco’s win was also seen🦹 as a big achievement by other riders.
“I was happy to see ඣmany riders congratulate me,” stated the Pramac rider. “I could see in their eyes that it was very s💮incere. It was very nice.
“They were happy for me and this gives you a nice feeling. I think all the riders respect everyone and they know that I can be fast.&nb♊sp;
“It’s just difficult sometimes to make this extra step. What they th🍸ink about me, I don’t think will chang🐻e.”
Zarc♔o, who will leave Ducati at the end of the season after agreeing a two-year deal with LCR Honda, admitted that departing the Italian brand will be easier now that he’s secured his maiden pไremier class victory.
“It𝓡 will be even easier I think,” said Zarco. “⛎It will be another chapter but I still see many things from what I do and what the others do on it.
“Clearly it will be a useful experience f♒or the next two years.”
