Johann Zarco says the fact he could fight with Pecco Bagnaia in the MotoGP Argentina Grand Prix was “positive” but also🧸 meant he “could not use” his “extra speed”.

The LCR rider gave Honda one of its best weekends in wel♌l over a year after he qualified on the front row and managed fourth in the sprint.

Feeling he had podium pace in the grand prix, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco ultimately finished sixth after a battle with Ducati’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pecco Bagnaia.

While Zarco beamed at the fact he was able to fight with a factory Ducati on 🐼his Honda, he admits that Bagnaia’s robust defence meant he couldn’t use the speed advantage he felt he had in the early stages.

As a result, his tyres dropped off too much in♛ the final laps and left him powerless to stop VR46 Ducati’s Fabio Di Giannantonio from snatching fifth from him.

“Very nice weekend, almost a ಌdream weekend,” he bega✃n.

“From the first lap on Friday till the race on Sunday, getting this possibiliꦡty to fight with the top guys was so nice and has been pretty positive for us.

“Clearly I did everything to have the podium.

“ The strategy on Sunday was better than on Saturday because I got a better start in this long race on Sunday and I was in a better position to be in third position and try to go with Alexཧ [Marquez] and Marc [Marquez].

“But I was fightin🤡g with Pecco and he was defendin♒g pretty well.

“So, the extra speed I could have at the beginning of the race it’s really that 🧸I didn’t use it - I could not use it properly because of the fight with Pecco.

“But it’s so positive to say I’ve been 🌠🐬fighting with Pecco.

“But then the race has been quit﷽e tough because not overtake him made the ♊bike a bit more tough to ride and at the end of the race I got a lot of movement on the bike that I could not hold Di Giannantonio from coming.

“So, I finished sixth but if I take it overall I can be happy🗹ꦚ.”
