MotoGP rider Johann Zarco has reflected on the tense episode in which he recently fell out with Freddie Spencer and admitted his reaction was unprofessional. In a meeting with Aleix Espargaro after the Jerez incident, Zarco raised his voice, which he now considers inappropriate.
After the Jerez incident, Zarko, who expressed disappointment with the stewards’ decisions, admitted that he could have handled the situation more calmly and professionally. He admitted that his behavior was not appropriate for the environment and that raising his voice was not the best way to solve the problem.
During the meeting, Zarco felt that Spencer was more interested in listening to Espargaro’s complaints about the incident than properly reviewing the situation as a whole. He said he was disappointed that Spencer was more inclined to ask him for a statement than to seek a fair solution to the problem.
Despite his initial reaction, Zarco explained that his criticism was directed at the stewards’ decisions, not Spencer himself. He stressed that he respects Spencer’s position, but feels that his actions were not appropriate at the time.
After the meeting, Zarco expressed his hope that the Jerez incident can be forgotten and he can fully focus on his future performance on the track. He stressed the importance of being calm and professional, especially in a competitive environment like MotoGP.
Zarko stressed that he has learned from this experience and is determined to overcome future challenges with a calmer, more focused approach. He thanked his team and partners for their continued support and looks forward to showing his true potential in the upcoming races.
Finally, Johann Zarco realized that while there can be moments of tension and frustration in sports, it is important to stay calm, act professionally and focus on what really matters: the performance on the track. He is committed to learning from this experience and moving forward with determination and confidence.
