LCR Honda team boss Lucio Cecchinello admits Johann Zarco being a second-per-lap fas🧔ter 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 - pit🌄ted ꦯat the end of the warm-up lap for slicks.

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

Marquez proved to be his nearesꦏt rival in the race, who 🙈Cecchinello 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 LCR “really worried” the Frenchman would𒀰 make a mistake.

“I mean, the problem ꦕis the second-fast💫est rider was Marc Marquez,” the LCR boss told MotoGP’s After the Flag

“And normally in these conditions Marc is unbe𝓡lievably fast.

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

Zarco’s victory i🍰s the first for Honda since the 2023 Ameri🎶cas 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 at🍷tention to look at the weather forecast evolutions, we have differಞent radar applications.

“And then we, myself and also my crew chief were absolutely c🐠onvinꦆced that in 20 minutes the situation would change.

“And then we said to him that for us, and I also showed him the radar, and I said ‘this is♏ co🌞ming’.

“And then I believe that he was more con🥀vinced to stay on the grid on wet tyres while most of the riders changed.”
