Zarco’s words for champion Quartararo – gp-inside.com

Johann Zarco is happy for his compatriot Fabio Quartararo, the first Frenchman in history to be titled in the premier category. Here, since the Grand Prix of Émilie-Romagna, are the words of a double Moto2 world champion in Cannes to a MotoGP world champion in Nice.

France finally on the roof of the motorcycle world: ” I’m happy for him. It’s good for France to have a MotoGP world champion. That’s the first thing I said to him when I stopped (after the finish): ‘wow, you’re world champion man!’ I take advantage of his happiness. He had a perfect season, respect. We must take advantage of this. It is better if it is a French champion, even if it is not me, than for example Marc Marquez a ninth or tenth time! (laughs) “

Where Quartararo made the difference: “If I think of Ducati, it would have been good if Bagnaia had kept the championship open until the last race. But this season, Fabio has been more consistent than Bagnaia. Bagnaia has been very strong in the last few races, he was coming back. But even running into problems, without winning, Fabio was able to run solid races and score big points. “

“He had a fantastic season, he was smart and showed that he has progressed mentally between last year and this year. He’s been there every race. Even when he had problems he was still fighting for the podium. He is the example to follow to be world champion and I am very happy for him. “

“It will make people talk about motorcycles in France”: “As a French driver, I would like to be champion, but I think it’s really good that he is. I also want to win but we must also enjoy and celebrate this performance. It’s unique, so it’s best to share your happiness. And it’s great for France. It will make people talk about motorcycles and make young people dream. “
