But with Martin struggling for rear grip after choosing the soft 🅺tyre, 🍨Zarco went for the win at turn four which also allowed Francesco Bagnaia to come through at the same corner.

Finally a MotoGP winner after so many podium finishes, Zarco said: “It feels good. Sometimes you 🌄always push and try to catch [this feeling] but sometimes there are other riders that have the pace and have this feeling. 

“As long as you don’t catch it, it seems like you can🉐not win. Like Pecco did three years ago, he haꩲs been fighting with the Ducati and won so many races. 

“Jorge… it is his time now. A⭕lso, in qualifying he is doing amazing and🔯 can control the races, but this one was a special one. 

“Choos💫ing the medium rear tyre was important. I had been thinking when I saw Jorge pull away to at least fight for the podium and this second place. I knew it wouldn’t be easy but it w𒀰as possible. 

“But in the last five laps when Jorge began to drop a loꩵt I thought something even more special was possible today. I’m so happy to have done it.&n🅰bsp;

“🦄Special꧟ emotion. Maybe we can do long races on a Saturday for me.”

After following Bagnaia for much of the race, Zarco picked off the re⛄igning worl✃d champion, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Binder en route to second spot.

But while he was fully settled on chal🍌lenging solely for ꦐthe podium, Zarco knew a win was possible when there were five laps remaining.  

Zarc𝓰o added: “I had to be behind Jorge on the last two laps or last lap because I saved my rear tyre and wanted to catch this acceleration on the last lap that I’m used to having. 

“I could not do it earlier in the race because I would have used too much tyre. I did th♏e manoeuvre at the right moment. 

“I understand with five laps to go that it was possible to catch J𒈔orge. I thought I could also overtake him at turn six, like I did with Marc. 

“But if I had waite💦d at turn four I🔯 could have been attacked by another rider. It was important to attack to not be attacked.”
