#5 Johann Zarco – 6th – Sprint
“I’m happy with the pace today. Starting from 11th was always going to be tricky, but I was ready to fight. We struggled a bit with front-end feeling, but I was still able to push and finish in sixth. We’ll aim to repeat that result tomorrow. We’ve made progress since yesterday, which has been important. It’s good to have found some feeling with the bike, though we know there’s still room for improvement. Racing in front of the home crowd here at Le Mans always gives me extra motivation, their support really means a lot.”
#5 Johann Zarco – WINNER – Race
“There are no words to express what I felt today. We didn’t expect to win, and doing it on home soil is something truly incredible and emotional. It was a long and intense race, but the strategy we applied as a team really paid off. I took a gamble, as the forecast predicted rain, and today, we made the right call. Winning with Honda is something I’ve been aiming for, and now we’ve done it. Huge thanks to the team, to my parents who were here to experience the Grand Prix with me, to HRC, to the sponsors, and to everyone who’s supported us. This is a day I’ll never forget.”
