LCR Ho🥂nda team boss Lucio Cecchinello admits Johann Zarco being a second-per-lap faster than Marc Marquez in the wet MotoGP French Grand Prix “worried” him.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco was one of a handful of riders to stay on wet tyres for the start of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the French GP when a large number of runners - including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez - pitted at the end of the warm-up lap f🐽or slicks.

Surviving a collision triggered by Enea Bastianini at Turn 3 on the first lap, Zarco eventuallꦛy came through to lead the grand prix on the eighth tour and would take the chequered flag almost 20 seconds clear of the fieℱld.

Marquez proved to be his nearest rival in the race, who Cecchinel🐬lo admits is usually the fastest rider in wet conditions.

And the fact Zarco was able to gap him by around a second per ♉lap made ꦆLCR “really worried” the Frenchman would make a mistake.

“I mean, the problem is the second-fastest rider was Marc Marquez,” the LCR boss told MotoGP😼’s After the Flag

“And normallyไ in these conditions Marc is unbelievably fast.

“So, normally it’s the opposite - he is one second faster than꧒ everyone. The fact that we were one second faster than Marc, I mean we were really worried for some mistake.”

Zarco’s victory is the first for Honda since th𓄧e 2023 Americas GP, when then-LCR rider Alex Rins was victorious.

On the decision 🍬to start on wet tyres, ⛎Cecchinello says the team constantly tracked the weather radar and was “absolutely convinced” it was the right choice, which Zarco was swayed by.

“Of course, we planned it,” Cecchinello added.

“We paid a lot of attention to look💃 at the weather forecast evolutions, we have different radar applications.

“And then we, myself and also my crew chief were a🧸bsolutely convinced that in 20 minutes the situation would change.

“And then we said to him th🍌at for us, and I also showed him the radar, and I said ‘this is coming’.

“And then I believe that he was more convinced to stay on the gr🗹id on wet tyres while most of the riders changed.”
