Following five difficult MotoGP races, Pramac Ducati rider Johann Zarco enjoyed a much needed return to the top ten at the Emಞilia-Romagna Grand Prix. 

Zarco, who qualified in tenth managed to gain five🎃 positions overall and finish four seconds off the podium in fifth. 

Although the Pramac rider was slightly fortunate to claim fifth as Miguel Oliveira, Jack Miller and Francesco B💞agnaia all crashed while comfortably ahead, it was somewhat of a return to the early season form we witnessed. 

The French rider had str💛uggled in previous rounds due to arm pump, but following surgery ahead of COTA, the final two rounds in Portimao and Valencia should see Zaro fighting to💦wards the front, especially after regaining ‘some confidence’ at Misano. 

"I’m pretty happy. I was very constant during the whole race which was ver🎐y important for me to rebuild some confidence,"☂ added Zarco. 

"Clearly conditions were maybe not easy because we got so many crashes. I also got the benefit of these crashes because step-by-step I was gaini🥂ng positions. 

"But also the feeling with the group was good, I was enjoying it with the other guys, I was overtaking andꦜ as I said, I was very constant. 

"🀅Physically I was feeling good, which is positive going forward. There were many positive and important ✅things to take. Also, for the championship it has been a good Sunday for me." 

In terms of the battle for fourth, ten point🍰s now🌌 separate Zarco, Miller and Marc Marquez in the championship.
