Video: Zarco ruins his options after falling at Silverstone

Six weeks after the last race before the summer break, Johann Zarco arrived at Silverstone full of motivation and ready to give his best at the British event.

However, what seemed like a good weekend for Johann Zarco turned into a bad taste in the mouth of the Pramac team. The French driver crashed while leading with 16 laps remaining around the British circuit.

Counting on poleman status, the French rider solidified his dominance in the English event after taking the lead during the early stages of the race. Directly chased by riders like Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins, the pace of the Frenchman predicted good points for the qualifying sheet.

The fall -without consequences- of Zarco at the end of the eleventh corner cut short the Frenchman’s chances of getting his first victory. Seconds later, the transalpine returned to the asphalt to redeem his mistake. However, after certifying a mechanical problem, the Frenchman was forced to return to the team box.
