VIDEO: Johann Zarco "does motocross" in free practice at Le Mans

With the arrival of the second free practice on Friday, the MotoGP category was preparing to give its best during the first day of the weekend.

In the middle of a session characterized by the temperatures of the French asphalt, Johann Zarco starred in an unforgettable moment at the Le Mans circuit. The local rider was riding at the end of the straight in the first sector of the track, when his Ducati left the track.

The Pramac Frenchman’s Desmosedici went straight to the gravel, and it didn’t take long for comparisons to begin regarding his driving style, typical of an “off road” competition.

Fortunately, for the French rider and the rest of the stars on the grid, no one was behind the wheel of his Ducati, avoiding what could have led to a fatal accident on the French track.

What happened in Le Mans this Friday was reminiscent of the performances of Jorge Lorenzo and Stoner in 2006 in the past.
