“Medium can be an advantage” as Johann Zarco eyes Argentine MotoGP podium
Johann Zarco believes switching to the medium rear tyre could boost his Argentine M🌞otoGP podium chances.

After all MotoGP riders opted for the soft rear tyre in Saturday’s Argentine Sprint, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco believes switching to the medium compou🐟nd for this afternoon’s Grand Prix could give him a crucial advantagꦑe.
Zarco secured Ho🅷nda’s best qualifying position of the post-Marc Márquez era with third on the grid, before finishing just outside the podium in fourth place during the Sprint.
“For sure [the podium] is possible tomorrow,” Zarco said. “And maybe even more c𒐪hance. Let’s see if we have a bit more temperature, because for me using the medium rear can be an advantage. I hope we will have this advantage tomorrow.♏”
Michelin expects all riders to stick with the medium front tyre🐎, but the rear choice remains open, depending on track temperatures.
For Sunday morning’s warm-up session, almost all riders tested the medium rear, with Marc and Alex Marquez ag🌟ain leading the timesheets, while Zarco placed 13th fastest (+0.730s).
However, the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:LCR Honda rider began on medium rubber with🐻 12 laps of prior use, while most others used fresher tyres with only 6-8 laps.
In terms of average pace, Alex Marquez held the edge over Sprint winner Marc, with Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi emergin꧑g as their closest challenger.
A crucial factor for Zarco will be the start, after losing several positions in the Saturday Sprint, allowing the podium contenders to break away ea✱rly.
“Maybe to stay with Marc🔥 and Alex would be nice,” Zarco said. “I think Pecco will be there also.
“Clearly Marc and Alex have been the two guys that were always in front during the practices. If I can stay with the﷽m, maybe I can have an advantage [with that also]…”
Honda's last MotoGP podium was by M🌱arquez at Motegi in 2023.
The 25-lap grand prix begiꦬns at 15:00 local time.
